Modern, comfortable and private accommodations at the beach. Our back yard is the Carolina Beach State Park with miles of wilderness and privacy. You can access the many walking trails in the park, starting directly from our back patio. Explore the shore of Snows Cut, climb Sugarloaf Dune along the Cape Fear River and be on the lookout for the Venus Flytrap, the rare carnivorous plant that grows wild in the park.

We have plenty of parking for cars and trailers and a full garage to store bicycles and gear. Our neighborhood is directly adjacent to the Island Greenway, a network of off-street trails, parks and spectacular areas chosen for their safety, beauty and convenience. It's a great way to discover Kure Beach, Fort Fisher, the Carolina Beach Boardwalk or the North End of Carolina Beach. Ask us about bicycle rental options if you don't want to bring your own.

Kayak, Paddle Board and Jet Ski units are available next door at the State Park Marina. If you are bringing a boat or jet ski with you, your trailer will be safe in our yard. We are located directly between the two boat ramps on the North end of the island: the State Park Marina and Wildlife boat ramps. It's also a short drive to the Fort Fisher boat launch on the South end of the island. Wilmington, Wrightsville Beach and Southport are all directly accessible by boat from our launches. Here is a locals tip for a ideal beach day when you have a boat: head to the uninhabited Masonboro Island and find a secluded place to anchor up. You'll have the beach all to yourself.

Ready for a day on the sand? Here are a few of our suggestions on the best way to savor our beaches:

Beach parking is best at Fort Fisher State Park. It's close, it's a short, handsome drive and the beach is elegant. In Carolina Beach, you can park in one of the public or private tons or at any of dozens of beach accesses. Virtually every street that meets the ocean is a beach access. Kure Beach has public and private parking options as well.

Four wheel drive is our preferred way of getting on the sand. If you have 4x4 we highly recommend checking out Freeman Park on the North end of Carolina Beach, or the Fort Fisher State Recreation area on the South end of the island. Both allow you to take your car on the sand, right to the surf line.

We already mentioned finding secluded beaches by boat. Here are more ideas and different ways to appreciate our beaches: Rent a golf cart to access cart only parking at the boardwalk and at beach accesses. Gather shells as you walk the sand from Tiki Bar Pier to the North End Pier. If you are feeling adventurous, ride a fat wheel bicycle from the Fort Fisher Aquarium to Bald Head Island, a twenty mile round trip.

When you are ready for some rest, we've made our place comfortable and calming. Wifi is fast and reliable throughout the entire property. There are two king bed suites plus a third bedroom with double bed and it's own bathroom. All bedrooms have Roku T.V.s. If you need more sleeping space for the kids, there is plenty of room for a blow up bed or two. There is an outdoor deck with seating off the kitchen and an outdoor dining area on the ground floor patio in the back yard.

The main living area is on the second floor. The kitchen is well equipped. The dining room set is sizable and seats eight. Next to the dining room is a desk and workspace for those that need it. The living room is comfortable, cavernous and has a huge Roku TV, the half bath in the main living area is convenient for all.

Our island has so much to see and do and there is even more to check out in surrounding areas. Our number one day trip recommendation is to ride the Fort Fisher Ferry to Southport, a cozy fishing village at the mouth of the Cape Fear River. Grab lunch at one of the eateries along the waterfront.

Downtown Wilmington is another recommended day trip. Walk around the historic district which offers top notch shopping and dining. Hop a water taxi from the downtown docks to cross the river and tour the Battleship North Carolina.

Our top Rental home booking tips:

Find your perfect rental home:

June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Book your vacation in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your vacation property up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
Booking websites typically offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
Many property management companies supply Southport area visitors guide magazines which will include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to select the best rental in the Southport area:

Start by choosing your vacation dates and a maximum budget.
Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Spacious Beach Getaway for Nature Lovers and Active Families. Two King Suites! has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property management company before you book your home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You'll need to work out what is right for your vacation family.
If there's a certain Southport destination you simply love, search for homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking
Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or costs may be applied to your contract.

More considerations for your visit:

Be sure you get the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Store the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
To ensure that no damages are attributed to your visit, record any problem areas upon check in. Make contact with the rental manager immediately to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be useful.
Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers bothering your home life. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would have never otherwise known about!
Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let thieves ruin your trip.
Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Record a video to document the condition of the property.
Did you have a great vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
