If you've never been to Carolina Beach before you're in for a treat. We're a marvelous family friendly beach town with pizza stores, ice cream stores, seafood eateries, and three grocery stores. You'll never have to (or want to) leave the island. During the summer there are complimentary outdoor concerts and movies, a Farmers Market on Saturdays, and Thursday nighttime fireworks, all within walking distance. Stroll the boardwalk, head down to the Kure Beach pier, visit the NC Aquarium or take in some local Civil War history at Fort Fisher. You can find new things to do every day or of course just relax on the beach and soak up the sun. You'll be glad you came to Carolina Beach and will want to come back year after year.

How to book the best Carolina Beach vacation rental experience:

How to get the best value:

• The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked early. Reserving your vacation home up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Booking a rental in Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local Wrightsville Beach visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides contain offers and deals for nearby tours and attractions.

Selecting and booking the perfect Wrightsville Beach rental home:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your dates, and select a budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Oceanfront updated 5 bedroom duplex with elevator and private beach access. has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is regularly accessible online. If they are not listed, email or call the host before you reserve your home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what configuration is best for your vacation.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a rental that allows animals. Request information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

During your stay:

• Get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• During arrival, make note of any issues with the property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on great ratings to drive more reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
