Welcome to Southern Belle!

The duplex is divided into two sides. Southern Belle only shares a wall with the other side - otherwise the fenced back yard and entry are private.
This striking property features 2 comfortable bedrooms with a king and queen bed, ideal for a peaceful nighttime's sleep. Appreciate the convenience of WiFi, roku TV, a washing machine/dryer, and fenced yard for your furry friend. The living room with a cozy couch bed provides additional space for a guest. Our entirely outfitted kitchen accepts for meals in, or appreciate the many delicious eateries right on the island.
Sip your morning coffee on the balcony with a view of the ocean and spend the evening under the string lights in adirondack chairs by the fire pit.
Downstairs next to patio is a closet supplied with chairs, sand toys, body boards, and a wagon to savor on the sand. A propane grille and patio table with 4 chairs allow for outdoor dining. There is also an outside shower area for rinsing off.

You'll never have to (or want to) leave the island - but if you do, Wilmington is a short drive! During the summer there are complimentary outdoor concerts and movies, a weekly Farmers Market, carnival rides / games, and Thursday nighttime fireworks! Stroll the boardwalk and visit the famed Britt's donuts, head down to the Kure Beach pier, take a tour of Shark Tooth Island, 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 you will want to come back year after year!

Getting the best vacation home experience:

Sticking to your spending budget:

• In the Wrightsville Beach area, The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your rental property up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Summertime is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Booking your vacation rental in the Fall or Spring is a great way to save money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Some hosts offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you 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 ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Wrightsville Beach area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines have deals for nearby tours and attractions.

Selecting and booking your Wrightsville Beach rental:

• Begin by choosing trip dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Southern Belle 2 bed / pet-friendly / 2nd row in Carolina Beach with ocean view has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available online. If not, reach out to the property management company before reserving the property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• If your family is traveling with pets, filter your search for a property that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property managers charge additional pet fees.
• Are you visiting for a single event? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More tips for your visit:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Record any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are very helpful if there is a dispute.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors bothering your peace and quiet. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and places you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected everything. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, remember to take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a great vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
