Location! Location! Location! Welcome to our luxury beach home, North Star. Located directly across from public beach access Periwinkle, with striking vistas of the ocean from every floor, and a few blocks walk to Freeman Park. Going fishing? No need to pack up your supplies in the truck and worry about parking! Just step across the street and you are ready to see what great fishing the Atlantic has to offer. Take a 7 min. walk to the Carolina Beach Pier where you can appreciate a bonfire, drinks and great food at their restaurant and Tiki bar! Savor the ease of beachfront living complete with beach essentials (beach wagon, umbrellas, body boards, toys, and more!) AND private outdoor shower to rinse off after a day in the sun.

The Space:
The interior features bamboo floors and tile throughout. The impressive kitchen is complete with limestone countertops, bespoke cabinetry, Viking appliances, and counter seating with four stools. The kitchen comes entirely supplied with everything you need to prepare and entertain. From serving platters, cookware, a pancake griddle, and tableware for toddlers and modest kids, North Star has it all. An additional wine bar includes a Viking wine/drink refrigerator and blender and all drinking water in our home is filtered through a reverse osmosis filtration system!

The gorgeous open concept living room features high ceilings, a 70” TV with Roku, a surround sound system, and ample seating. Sit down for meals in the dining room with a sizable table and chairs to seat 8. Surrounded by windows that overlook the ocean. A balcony off the living area overlooks the ocean and includes a table and chairs for four to savor breakfast, lunch, or just to read a good book to the sight and sound of the waves crashing.

Off of the kitchen is a screened in porch with a dining table that seats six. Appreciate playing cards, doing puzzles, or sharing a meal outdoors out of the sun, with the ocean breeze passing by!

Continue through the screened in porch to walk up the lit stairway, to behold the crown jewel of this home – the rooftop deck! Recently installed WearDeck composite decking that deflects heat and keeps feet from splinters makes this a joy to lounge on. Chaise lounge chairs, as well as other chairs make for a comfortable spot to enjoy the vista. Take dinner up to dine at the bar with a granite countertop, or relax with some lemonade, chips and salsa in the afternoon. For early risers, you won't want to miss taking in the sunrise from the rooftop! Or turn on the speakers that pipe in music from the living room sound system onto the rooftop and play your favorite tunes as you watch the sunset over the canal in the evening.

Tips and Tricks to get the very best Wilmington, NC vacation home experience:

Get the best rental home value:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Booking your Wilmington, NC vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a great way to save money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers usually offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guides which will include money-saving deals, 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.

Finding the perfect vacation rental in Carolina Beach:

• Select a group lead, select your trip dates, and choose a max budget.
• Ocean Views + Rooftop! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC rentals search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the property owner before booking the home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out what is right for your vacation group.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the host about your furry family members before booking.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

Some things to know before you go:

• Add the owner's information to your phone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let burglars spoil your holiday.
• Upon check-in, record any damages to the property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• 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 order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at departure. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on great ratings to compel future reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
