Travelers of all ages love all that there is to see and do in Carolina Beach. We hope you will be inspired to start your own family beach vacation traditions here! They begin in this warm and welcoming 3 bedroom 2.5 bath free standing single family home. One block to the sand. Prepare your favorite dishes in the gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances. (If you don't catch it yourself, Blackburn Brothers Seafood is open 363 days a year and always have a great variety of just caught seafood.) The living room and Master Bedroom have direct WHITE WATER OCEAN VIEWS. You're mere steps to the beach and sand between your toes. Your back yard is an incredible wetland and wild bird estuary. Your home is bright with natural light and tastefully decorated. Four decks--three with seating and amazing views. Enjoy breathtaking sunsets, sunrises, and beautiful starry nights. Explore family-friendly attractions and activities nearby on the island at the North Carolina Aquarium and the Fort Fisher State Historic Site and Museum, two of North Carolina’s most visited attractions. Experience surf lessons with world class instructors, bike through town with the whole family along the Island Greenway ( two adult bikes provided,---please bring your riding helmets), hike or enjoy bird watching in Carolina Beach State Park. You can cast a line off the fishing pier or charter excursion to reel in a great catch. Rent a jet ski, kayak, paddleboard or bicycle from one of the many shops on the island and charter your own outdoor island excursion. The list of activities that offer classic beach and outdoor fun is endless. The sights and sounds of family fun await you at the Carolina Beach Boardwalk, recently named one of the most awesome boardwalks in America. The summer season brings amusement rides, seasonal live music and weekly fireworks. Enjoy sweet treats ( Britt's Donuts is a must--- they've been on the Boardwalk since the 1930's!), colorful shops with souvenirs and beach gear, seaside restaurants and tiki bars. For Java fans the Boardwalk offers many great options. We enjoy the Crush and Grind. There are just a few vintage boardwalks left in the country, and this one is extraordinary, so be sure to put it on your must do list. Less than twenty minutes from your beach escape is the thriving port city of Wilmington. Explore the WWII battleship, the USS North Carolina, or Arlie Gardens. Wilmington also boasts numerous opportunities for shopping with unique boutiques in the Cotton Exchange, The Forum, Lumina Station, or Mayfaire. There are a variety of tours downtown in the Historic District, one of the largest and most picturesque historic districts in the South. The 230-plus blocks hold their own alongside the likes of Charleston and Savannah. Downtown Wilmington also offers the Hall for the Performing Arts, the Children's Museum of Wilmington, Cape Fear river dinner cruises, and tons of great southern cuisine.
