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!

Carolina smokehouse has terrific BBQ & ribs with ocean vistas, Hurricane Alley also has ocean vistas 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 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.

Our top Vacation rental tips and tricks:

Sticking to your spending budget:

• To find the largest rental within budget, we suggest booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at Brunswick area restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year 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.
• Some owners offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Many management companies supply Brunswick area area visitors guide magazines which will include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Choosing the best vacation rental in the Brunswick area area:

• Start by having your family commit to trip dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Going Coastal in Beach Harbour! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is commonly available online. Otherwise, call the property owner before you book your rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine which bed configuration is suitable for your group.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some properties allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

• Add the host's contact information to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• During arrival, note any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors bothering your quiet neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would at home.
• On check-out day, complete a final walk-through to make sure you have not leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent reviews to drive future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will will be grateful for your review find their best rental home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
