Let your spirit be your guide when visiting this colorful beach destination, where variety is what makes Carolina Beach so special. 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.

Check out the local events calendar (search Carolina Beach events) for more upcoming events in the area. Annual off-season events that include Boardwalk activities are Christmas by the Sea and the Island of Lights Festival.

    We had a great stay at Beach Bliss, in fact we booked another future trip as well. The owners were kind and had good communication during our stay, property was beautiful, and the beach is just a block away. Would definitely recommend.

    Despite Tropical Storm Debbie dumping a ton of rain and 50 mph winds during our vacation, we still very much enjoyed a relaxing week in this beautiful beach home! Perfect for our family of 3 teens and one pup!

    Beautiful home in great location. Just far enough away to feel secluded but close enough to walk everywhere. Gorgeous views from all of the decks, amazing bedrooms and a fully appointed kitchen. We will definitely be coming back, the hosts were awesome

    What a beautiful place to stay. Fantastic views of the sound and lots of space inside. The pictures really don't do it justice! For future renters: the beach access right across the street that you see on Google Maps is closed because of erosion. The next beach access is only about a block down. But if you have kids, a wagon is a must! (And there was one in the downstairs closet!) Thanks for sharing your house!

    We loved our stay here! The property is comfortable, clean and the hosts were responsive and helpful. The beach proximity is great and made it easy to walk to and from the beach. Highly recommend!

    We stayed at this lovely Carolina Beach home for a Thanksgiving family reunion and meal together November 20-26th. For our needs and compared to our past other temporary rental experiences several times a year, we liked this house very much. Everything in the home functioned well. The house was thoughtfully decorated and well-provisioned for our needs. We did group yoga on the spacious, open main floor led by our daughter who teaches back home. The salt marsh in behind the property is a treasure where we watched Great Egrets and White Ibis feeding each day, precious habitat for nesting and feeding here preserved. There was room for two vehicles. Located one street off the beachfront row, we all enjoyed pleasant walks to the beach or inlet. The neighborhood was quiet and calm. We drove to buy groceries. Communication with the hosts was easy - they were terrific. Access and host instructions were clear and readily available. Dogs are allowed and ours travels with us. His toileting was convenient on the small lot. Overall our experience was just right and met all needs during our short stay. We liked the house and will definitely consider this home again whenever our travels bring us back to the area!

    This is the second time my family has stayed in this area of Carolina Beach & we just love it! The tiki bar on the north pier is a fun spot just a short walk away. We enjoyed our stay at this home. The views of the ocean from living & master bedroom and then off the back of the home to the waterways (and both from side balcony/deck) are a huge asset. Thank you for a great week at the beach!

    Lovely home with unobstructed marsh views and partial ocean views. Short walk to the beach and Carolina Beach pier.

    The vacation home is even better than advertised. The house is bright, cheery, open, clean, clean, and clean. We felt right at home in this lovely vacation property. The owners were accessible, and exceptional hosts. What the pictures don’t show you is how open the house is. The ceilings are tall and the windows across the front of the house makes you feel like you’re outside when you’re not. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for warm friendly house to rent near the beach which is a short 3 minute walk away.

    The moment my family and I walked in, we all had smiles on our faces and were impressed with how spacious and nice the place was! The kids ran into every room with excitement. We had everything we needed and more! The beach access closest to the house was closed but walking down to the next beach access was not bad at all! In the morning and evening we all enjoyed the nice breeze and relaxing views of the marsh. At night, fireworks were going off everywhere so we had fun going to all the different balconies to see them :-) We would love to come stay again!
