About this Property

  • 3 Bathrooms
  • Private vacation home

As of 10/16/2023 we were made aware that the beach access directly across the street, Sea Oats Access, and the access north of the property, Salt Marsh, are currently closed due to beach erosion. The closest beach access is the Sand Fiddler Access which is roughly a block south of the property.

"Dolphin Watch" is a six-bedroom, three-bath home with a reverse floor plan that has pretty ocean vistas, natural light, and room for the whole family, making it the ideal vacation spot! Located on the North end of Carolina Beach, your family is within walking distance of the North End Fishing Pier, the High Tide Parlor, and Freeman Park.

The primary bedroom is located on the first floor. With a King size bed, two closets, a charming en suite with double vanities and a garden tub, this room is a real getaway. A huge deck across the front of the home is shared between the primary and the second bedroom. The second bedroom has a Queen bed and a Jack-and-Jill bathroom that connects to the third bedroom. The third bedroom has a Queen bed and features a private, stand-up deck ideal for appreciating the salt air. Bedroom four is also on this level and has a day bed with a trundle. The laundry area with stackable washer and dryer is located on this floor.

The top floor has two more bedrooms and the main living area. The fifth bedroom has a Queen bed. The sixth bedroom has a Queen, a bathroom that is also accessible from the hall, and a private, stand-up deck. The main living area features a sizable, open floor plan with the dining area and kitchen. East-facing windows and sliding glass doors to the deck create a sunny, cheery ambiance. Savor the sunrise over the ocean while you drink your morning coffee or have breakfast on the deck where you can effortlessly "Dolphin Watch" for hours! The kitchen has all the appliances you will need to prepare your favorite meals: oven, electric range, microwave, and double-door refrigerator with freezer drawer. The dining table has seating for eight, and the island has three bar stools - eat in or order takeout from one of the island’s many marvelous eateries!

The beach access directly across the street gives a front row seat to a handsome ocean scene with rock formations. The Town of Carolina Beach will be re-opening this access after its yearly maintenance due to erosion. Until then, it’s just a short walk to the access one block over where you can set up all day! A wagon is supplied with the home for pulling your beach toys, towels, and coolers.

Don’t miss out on this home- you’ll want to come back any time of year! It is dog-friendly, so bring your best friend with you.

Tips to get the best vacation rental experience:

How to get the best value:

  • June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Wrightsville Beach area. To get the best value, consider changing your trip dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic.
  • Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
  • Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
  • Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
  • Often, management companies supply Wrightsville Beach area travel guide magazines which will include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Narrow your rental Search:

  • Begin by selecting vacation dates and a maximum budget.
  • Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Family Friendly 6 BR Home w Ocean Views! has 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
  • Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property manager before reserving the rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You'll need to work out what is suitable for your vacation.
  • Are you looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists.
  • Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.
  • If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts charge additional pet fees.

More considerations:

  • Get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
  • Record any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if damages are attributed to your stay.
  • Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
  • Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an incredible source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
  • Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
  • Lock your rental while you're out and about. Keep your property safe!
  • Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
  • Record a video to document the condition of the property.
  • Did your family have a excellent time? Many rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.

Victory Beach Vacations

Visitors who are on the hunt for the postcard-perfect vacation rental in the heart of the Carolina Beach or Kure Beach area will find an enticing selection and plenty of friendly customer service when they rent through Victory Beach Vacations. Based in Carolina Beach in the coastal Cape Fear region, Victory Beach Vacations has more than 100 vacation rentals in all shapes and sizes to ensure that every vacationing family can find their dream home away from home on the beach.   When you book your Cape Fear getaway with Victory Beach Vacations, the fun doesn’t end when you leave the beach, it continues with an array of privately-owned properties outfitted with all of the amenities needed for a fabulous beach vacation.   Jenna Lanier, General Manager, explains that her family first opened the rental and property management business in 2002. At the forefront of Victory Beach operations is Lanier’s mother, Caroline Meeks. Meeks is both the Broker in Charge and co-owner with husband, Buck Meeks, who manages the Field Services team with Lanier’s husband, Scott.   For nearly 20 years, the Victory Beach team has worked tirelessly to establish a network of top-of-the-line rental properties for Cape Fear visitors to enjoy. “As far as our properties go,” explains Lanier, “they are all updated, well-furnished and appointed. “We have always performed post-cleaning inspections and since the pandemic, have put freshly laundered duvets over all of the comforters between rentals.”   Lanier emphasizes how important the guests experience is “we strive to give our guests a relaxing, stress free, memorable vacation.” This emphasis on customer service has led to Victory Beach Vacations having a 4.8 Google rating with over 300 reviews by happy owners and guests.In addition to Victory Beach’s superior sanitation practices, the company offers properties for every type of visitor. Choose from luxury oceanfront houses and condos to more reasonbly priced 2nd row properties with oceanviews. Many properties include pools and hot tubs as well, perfect for outdoor entertaining, and many are dog friendly.   Lanier also notes that all properties are within walking or driving distance to Pleasure Island’s main attractions – Carolina Beach and Kure Beach. The former, as described by Lanier, is the more commercialized of the two destinations and features a boardwalk, outdoor dining options and a plethora of weekly activities including fireworks, live music, amusement park pop-ups, and movies under the stars. Kure Beach offers a more residential feel with its fishing pier, intimate restaurants and family favorite, North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher.More water fun awaits, too. “There is a harbor and a canal that feed into the intercoastal. We have several properties on the harbor so guests can bring their boat, kayak, [or jet ski] and travel between islands,” says Lanier.   A stay with Victory Beach Vacations is an annual pilgrimage for most. “A large percentage of guests are previous guests. Some even reserve the same property for the next year as they’re checking out,” Lanier says. “It’s almost like it’s their personal vacation home.”   Even before guests arrive at their vacation destination, the Victory Beach Vacations’ website greets them with a live beach cam and exquisite aerial footage of both Carolina and Kure Beaches.
