Stroll through the marsh to visit the home of the famed Ft. Fisher Hermit. Or wind down with nature at our two state parks, sure to provide a memorable experience with hiking, fishing, and water activities such as paddle boarding and kayaking and search for a Venus Flytrap which is native to NC only. As one of North Carolina's most undeveloped beaches, the island offers a unique opportunity to see many diverse coastal wildlife, including pelicans and loggerhead sea turtles, in their natural habitat. Whether it’s exploring activities on the island, appreciating the ocean vistas, or enjoying a beverage by sunset from your own private balcony, Pleasure Island offers diversion for every enthusiast!

Explore the treasures of Carolina Beach, ranked one of the top 10 boardwalks in the country by Food & Wine magazine. One of the last remaining beach boardwalks on the East Coast, it includes a variety of eateries, arcade, stores, ice cream, Famous Britts Donuts, bars, and more! During the summer months, the Boardwalk is bustling with the sound of music, carnival rides, bingo, family nights, and events like the weekly fireworks and concert series. Rent a Jeep, bicycle, or golf cart as the most convenient ways to navigate the island.

Tricks and tips to get the perfect Cape Fear area vacation rental experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• The sooner you can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early. Booking your rental up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Summer time is high season in the Cape Fear area area. Reserve your Cape Fear area rental in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Some owners offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines have discounts for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Selecting the perfect rental home in the Cape Fear area area:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your trip dates, and select a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group needs. Welcoming and Gracious Family Home near Wildlife Ramp Boat Access has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is regularly available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the property manager before you book the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, search for a pet-friendly rental. Request information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Is your family looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.

More considerations for your visit:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your .
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents lots of difficulties.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are away, just like you would at home.
• To make sure damages are not attributed to your family's visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon check in. E-mail the host immediately to record your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a terrific source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• On check-out day, take a final walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a excellent time? Most rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
