A guest hot tub and fire pit enhance the gentle cooler months and the beach and Downtown Riverwalk are just a short drive away. The ever blooming and expanding garden is open for enjoyment and herbs are there for the picking. Wilmington offers superb dining experiences. Outdoor adventures, both on land and water, abound and the local Ghost Tour's focus on so much local history while digging up the past! Historic sites, leisurely neighborhood walks, bird watching, farmers market, local coffee stores, brewery's and tons of place to shop and visit, provide entertainment and quality of life. Wilmington is ideal all year round. Inclement weather is very rare. The Carriage House is located in the Princess Place Neighborhood, next to Burnt Mill Creek -a bird watchers heaven.

There is a comfortable king size bed in the bedroom. The couch in the living room will fold down to a twin size bed with a memory foam topper for sleeping comfort. I will make up the couch bed for you, so let me know if you plan to use it. There is one bathroom with a shower. The kitchen has a stove and oven, microwave, refrigerator, a NINJA Duo coffee maker which makes either a pot or Keurig cup serving (a cafe press is available upon request). There is also an electric tea kettle. Essentially, you have a separate one bedroom apartment with a kitchen-and open living area with a back deck and a screened porch at the entry. The Carriage House is ideal for a couple or for two friends visiting Wilmington. I do allow additional occupancy for one kid (18 years or younger) accompanying a parental unit. 2 modest kids under 6 would also be acceptable. A modest dog would be welcome, if kept on a leash in the yard until successfully introduced to my cats and dog.

There is a deck with equipped with a sun awning, 2 rockers and a bistro table. the deck ooks out over the backyard and fire pit. There is a screened front porch with a couch and privacy screen for morning coffee, evening card games or a nice chat on the phone with a family member or friend, al fresco.

A hot tub for guests will be available from August on. In the summer, the hot tub area will be screened in for your comfort.

Our top Carolina Beach rental property booking tips and tricks:

Get the most from your rental home budget:

• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To find the best value, try shifting your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic.
• The earlier you can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best properties are booked very early. Booking your vacation rental up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides contain money saving offers on local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Choose your vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. All Season Comfort offered at the Carriage House in Wonderful Beachy Wilmington has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the host before reserving your rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before booking
• Some rental properties allow pets, and some do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property management company about your furry family members before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

• Get the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make sure damages aren't linked to your family's visit, make note of any problem areas during check in. Get in touch with the property manager right away to document any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent quite a few issues.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Re-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, ensure that you take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on great ratings to propel new reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review find their best vacation rental. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
