Bright, open floor plan with 2 bedrooms/2 baths centrally located by all things that make your beach vacation perfect! Huge balcony with ocean views, nestled between the marina and ocean, two assigned parking spots, pool, public beach access & boardwalk just across the street. Recently updated with new furniture and flooring. Washer/dryer, included. Bedroom linens and towels included. Second floor, no elevator. Please no pets.
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 views & SeaWitch is nearby 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 amazing Tex-Mex food and also vegan options, their jackfruit tacos are yummy!
Crush & Grind has wonderful 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, famous Britts donuts opens in April!
Carolina smokehouse has terrific barbecue & ribs with ocean views, Hurricane Alley also has ocean views and a versatile menu.
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 amazing steaks and make your own salad, Kates pancakes is a great breakfast, also Gulf Stream is across from the marina and Island Bites Burgers & Grill 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 night in the summertime on the boardwalk! Please refer to my custom guidebook here in AirBnB for much more detail.
Most people walk if able, there are sometimes rickshaws available. Bike rentals, golf cart rentals,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 wonderful trails which is off the road and right down the street is an awesome brewery called Good Hops that has frisbee golf!
This particular unit is not pet friendly however there is an awesome 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 Rentals just a couple blocks away.
