Guided kayak tours and chartered deep-sea fishing are available in-town. Multiple golf courses are minutes from the house. The beach rental company in town will deliver and set-up beach shelters on the beach for you, or deliver everything from water toys to volleyballs sets to bicycles to your door. There's lots of fun shopping at quaint shops in-town within easy walking distance.
In the evening you can sip cocktails on the deck, or on the private beach access located above the dunes, or take a short walk down the beach to Happy Hour at the local Tiki Bar constructed on the remnants of a pier on the beach. Full moons and star-gazing are awesome! Or, you can also walk around the pet-friendly lake across the street, and watch movies and picnic there when the town projects movies outdoors each weekend just like at an old-time drive-in! Fireworks every weekend! There's plenty of nightlife and gourmet dining in town and in nearby Wilmington. If you prefer to stay in and cook, the super-fresh local catch of shrimp, crab and ocean fishes are superb!
Doing nothing here is also an excellent alternative. Sit back and just enjoy the relaxing tranquility you'll feel watching the ever-changing and beautiful oceanfront view. You can go as fast or as slow as like in Carolina Beach -- the choice is yours and both work! Either way, at the end of a hard day relaxing in the salt air, you'll be gently lulled to off to a deep sleep listening to the ocean waves crash just outside the sliders.
