Inside, the home has also received multiple thoughtful upgrades to enhance your stay, including new LVP floor throughout, and refreshed furnishings for added comfort.

Welcome to “Shore to Unwind – Upper”! This gorgeous four-bedroom, two-bathroom beachfront getaway delivers the very best of coastal living with all the amenities of home. From the pool and comfortable gas firepit to the sweeping ocean vistas and semi-private walkway to the beach, everything about this home invites you to slow down and soak up the Carolina Beach lifestyle. Located just a few blocks from the vibrant downtown Boardwalk, you’ll have painless access to family-friendly attractions, local eateries, and entertainment—all while appreciating the tranquility and relaxation of your own beachfront escape.

Step inside to a attractively designed coastal-chic space, flooded with natural light and styled for relaxation. The open-concept living area features a plush sectional couch with a queen sleeper—ideal for movie nights or additional guests. The kitchen is a chef’s delight, with solid-surface countertops, a sleek glass tile backsplash, and stainless-steel appliances. A roomy dining table with bench seating makes it simple to gather for family meals, board games, or a fast snack before heading down to the pool.

The bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged to maximize comfort. The primary bedroom offers a king bed and access to a private deck overlooking the peaceful street—ideal for morning coffee in the salty breeze. A second king bedroom includes convenient Jack-and-Jill bathroom access, while a third king bedroom features gorgeous ocean vistas. The fourth bedroom is ideal for kids or additional guests, offering a queen bed plus a twin bunk set. Each bedroom is equipped with its own TV, accepting everybody to relax with their favorite shows.

Outside, beachside relaxation awaits. Grandparents will adore rocking on the front porch as they watch the little ones splash in the pool. Fire up the gas grille for an evening Bar-B-Que, then gather around the one-of-a-kind firepit to roast marshmallows and share stories under the stars. After a day in the sun, rinse off in the enclosed outdoor shower before heading inside to relax.

Planning a bigger family gathering? Rent the adjoining unit, C220 - Shore to Unwind Lower, to expand your accommodation to a total of 7 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and room for up to 21 guests.

Keep an eye out for dolphins playing offshore, and savor the weekly fireworks lighting up the nighttime sky. Spend your day browsing the Carolina Beach Lake Park Farmer’s Market, visiting the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher, or taking a spectacular ferry ride to the appealing town of Southport.

Tricks and tips to get the optimal vacation home experience:

When to book a Wilmington, NC rental & When to go:

  • To book the largest rental within budget, we recommend reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular attractions.
  • Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
  • Some property managers offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your family.
  • Property managers typically offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
  • Often, management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guides which include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Filter your rental search:

  • Choose vacation week and budget.
  • Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Oceanfront duplex w private beach walkway has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
  • Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available online. Otherwise, contact the property management company before booking the rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
  • Visiting for a single event? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
  • Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
  • If your family is vacationing with pets, search for a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property managers charge additional pet fees.

Have a wonderful stay:

  • Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
  • At Check-in, record any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
  • Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
  • Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an incredible resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
  • Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
  • Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let crooks ruin your family vacation.
  • Just before checking out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
  • Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, remember to take video of the property to record its condition.
  • Did your group have a wonderful time? Many rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.

Victory Beach Vacations

Visitors who are on the hunt for the postcard-perfect vacation rental in the heart of the Carolina Beach or Kure Beach area will find an enticing selection and plenty of friendly customer service when they rent through Victory Beach Vacations. Based in Carolina Beach in the coastal Cape Fear region, Victory Beach Vacations has more than 100 vacation rentals in all shapes and sizes to ensure that every vacationing family can find their dream home away from home on the beach.   When you book your Cape Fear getaway with Victory Beach Vacations, the fun doesn’t end when you leave the beach, it continues with an array of privately-owned properties outfitted with all of the amenities needed for a fabulous beach vacation.   Jenna Lanier, General Manager, explains that her family first opened the rental and property management business in 2002. At the forefront of Victory Beach operations is Lanier’s mother, Caroline Meeks. Meeks is both the Broker in Charge and co-owner with husband, Buck Meeks, who manages the Field Services team with Lanier’s husband, Scott.   For nearly 20 years, the Victory Beach team has worked tirelessly to establish a network of top-of-the-line rental properties for Cape Fear visitors to enjoy. “As far as our properties go,” explains Lanier, “they are all updated, well-furnished and appointed. “We have always performed post-cleaning inspections and since the pandemic, have put freshly laundered duvets over all of the comforters between rentals.”   Lanier emphasizes how important the guests experience is “we strive to give our guests a relaxing, stress free, memorable vacation.” This emphasis on customer service has led to Victory Beach Vacations having a 4.8 Google rating with over 300 reviews by happy owners and guests.In addition to Victory Beach’s superior sanitation practices, the company offers properties for every type of visitor. Choose from luxury oceanfront houses and condos to more reasonbly priced 2nd row properties with oceanviews. Many properties include pools and hot tubs as well, perfect for outdoor entertaining, and many are dog friendly.   Lanier also notes that all properties are within walking or driving distance to Pleasure Island’s main attractions – Carolina Beach and Kure Beach. The former, as described by Lanier, is the more commercialized of the two destinations and features a boardwalk, outdoor dining options and a plethora of weekly activities including fireworks, live music, amusement park pop-ups, and movies under the stars. Kure Beach offers a more residential feel with its fishing pier, intimate restaurants and family favorite, North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher.More water fun awaits, too. “There is a harbor and a canal that feed into the intercoastal. We have several properties on the harbor so guests can bring their boat, kayak, [or jet ski] and travel between islands,” says Lanier.   A stay with Victory Beach Vacations is an annual pilgrimage for most. “A large percentage of guests are previous guests. Some even reserve the same property for the next year as they’re checking out,” Lanier says. “It’s almost like it’s their personal vacation home.”   Even before guests arrive at their vacation destination, the Victory Beach Vacations’ website greets them with a live beach cam and exquisite aerial footage of both Carolina and Kure Beaches.
