The water-front location provides incredible views and access to the boat dock for fishing. A short one block walk will put your feet in the sand of the beautiful North End beach.

Public beach access is 1 ½ blocks away. It is recommended that you bring beach chairs and toys, or there is a rental company that can deliver chairs\umbrellas\surfboards\etc. with drop off right at the beach access so you don't have to haul anything.
Not feeling like going to the beach? Head south down Canal Street to the charter fishing boats as well as other boats offering eco-tour, sunset or moonlight cruises. There are also many daytrip options including shopping\dining in downtown Wilmington or taking your car on the ferry to Southport. The Fort Fisher Aquarium or touring the USS North Carolina battleship are other popular activities.
Hungry after a day of activities? Walk a few blocks over to the High Tide Lounge and Tiki bar for some drinks or food from the grill with great ocean views. One mile South puts you in the main entertainment strip with many popular restaurants, bars and shops on the boardwalk and surrounding area. We are happy to provide you our recommendation to satisfy any craving.
Looking for nightlife? There are many options, also on and around the boardwalk. Enjoy live music at the Lazy Pirate or Sea Witch Cafe, have an ice-cold beer at the Fat Pelican (the BEST dive bar around with a sand beach beer garden), or explore the many other bars and restaurant options.
Note: Parking is limited in this part of the island and there is only one dedicated parking space for the unit. Also, this area is prone to flooding when there are heavy rain events or king tides. This may result in temporary closures of Canal Drive to vehicle traffic. Please look at the King Tide calendar in our photos - this generally occurs 3-4 times per year.
Although there is a dock, it may not be used for motorized boats. Our guests can fish or launch kayaks or stand-up Paddle boards from it.
We want you to have a fantastic vacation, create lasting memories and be our guest for years to come. We are just a phone call or text away should you have any issues or questions.
