The home features a NEW 40 foot dock, which provides power outlet and filtered freshwater supply for boating convenience. We even provide crabpots for those inclined to catch Carolina blue crab and the occasional stone crab. Very good site for casting right off our dock. After the devastating hurricane of September 2018, we rebuilt the dock entirely with 316-grade stainless steel fasteners,fittings and cleats, all new pilings and decking, a 4-ft width aluminum ramp, and a 40x10 foot floating dock.

This well-apportioned, immaculate home is an Interior Designer's personal residence. The striking east-facing master suite rewards the early riser with striking sunrise hues and sweeping vistas of Figure Eight inlet and the Intracoastal Waterway. The master suite has its own deck, and en suite private bathroom with a giant shower and coupled showerheads. Another upper level bedroom is also en suite with its own deck with constructed-in seating, while the third upper bedroom is also en suite. Each bedroom is customized but harmonious with the cheerful color scheme.

A full-width deck ensures a phenomenal view from the entire main level, whose open floorplan accepts for simple entertaining. On the lower level, the full-width patio features Adirondack chairs and a hammock for appreciating the waterfront vista, as well as an outdoor grille to broil your fresh catch to perfection.

Privacy and luxury abound at "Maison Blanc", furnished in harmonious colors, enhanced by striking original sailing photographs, and by vintage Art Deco travel and sporting posters.

How to book the best Carolina Beach vacation property experience:

When to visit Wilmington & When to book:

• June, July, and August are high season in Wilmington. Booking your Carolina Beach vacation home in the Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• In the Carolina Beach area, The earlier your group can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are reserved early. Booking your rental home up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Some owners offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.

You can also find Carolina Beach visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Advice for a great stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• During check-in, note any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of difficulties.

• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Upon check-out, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a terrific vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. 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 a note as part of your feedback.
