Beach Harbour is the first bright yellow set of buildings you’ll see across from the marina and one block off the ocean. Second story, no elevator.

The only shared space in this unit is the pool, I rarely see many people at the pool because the ocean is so close but it is open and available to guests.

Mary-Katherine your host is typically across the street at the Cabana, or usually in the area and readily available via text/messaging.

Stoked restaurant is on the marina with water vistas & SeaWitch is close by as well, they both have frequent live music and a versatile menu to suit most all palates.

Nollie’s tacos can be seen from the balcony, they have extraordinary Tex-Mex food and also vegan options, their jackfruit tacos are yummy!

Crush & Grind has amazing coffee, wine and beer they are a block away. Fork & Cork is a great restaurant, so is Havanna’s (great brunch AND clam chowder!). Malama had smoothies and avocado toast, famed Britts donuts opens in April!

NautiDog has great hotdogs with vegetarian and vegan options and outdoor seating. The Silver Dollar has great Ruben eggrolls. Buzz’ Roost & The Pit have great areas for watching sports, great bar and versatile menu, try the mahi tacos.

Nikkis sushi is close by and next to local icon, the Fat Pelican which has a fun walk-in cooler with hundreds of varieties of beer and eclectic coves/seating. Ida Thai is VERY good and El Cazador Mexican has a fun tequila bar.

Lakepark Steakhouse has striking steaks and make your own salad, Kates pancakes is a great breakfast, also Gulf Stream is across from the marina and Island Bites Burgers & Grille is similar to Five Guys.

The news says the amusement park is supposed to return, you should be able to see that from the balcony and typically there is live music and fireworks every Thursday nighttime in the summertime on the boardwalk! Please refer to my bespoke guidebook here in AirBnB for much more detail.

Most people walk if able, there are sometimes rickshaws available. Bicycle units, golf cart units,l; really no need to get in the car and drive unless you want to go to Freeman Park, for example, Fort Fisher or the aquarium or the battleship in downtown Wilmington. Carolina Beach State Park also has incredible trails which is off the road and right down the street is an excellent brewery called Good Hops that has frisbee golf!

This particular unit is not pet friendly however there is an impressive pet boarding company on the island. If you need that option, please let us know.

Since we are so close to the ocean, at the beginning of each season we provide beach chairs, beach toys and games, beach towels, a cooler and even a fishing pole for your use. We cannot guarantee their availability or condition throughout the season since we have such rapid turnover of guests. If you do not find what you need, you can always rent items at Pleasure Island Units just a couple blocks away.
PLEASE download the AirBnB app on your phone BEFORE you leave for your trip so you have fast access to ALL check-in instructions, access codes, WiFi info, your home manual & guidebook.

Tricks and tips to get the perfect vacation property experience:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring is a good way to save on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are reserved early. Reserving your rental up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines have deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Planning and choosing the perfectvacation home:

• First, have your family decide on the best dates and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Going Coastal in Beach Harbour! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually available on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before you reserve the property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is right for your group.
• Visiting for a specific event or attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• Some properties allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

More tips for your stay:

• Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Document any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if damages are assessed.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, television set or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of problems.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let burglars ruin your vacation.
• When it's time to leave, complete a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a terrific vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
