Welcome to the Twin Tides Intercostal Cottage. One of two of our unique side-by-side properties on the ICWW with a private pier and dock- with a slip available to our avid boaters (upon request and review assuming un-rented and for an additional fee).

We remodeled this home with our own family of 6 in mind. Very family friendly and family aligned.

When we refreshed, we had no intention to rent the home so we put all we had into it, making it ideal for our sizable family. Our kitchen features all Subzero and Wolf appliances- a true home chefs dream. The kitchen features concrete countertops- which are great but please be cautious and don't leave liquids long enough to sink in!

On the main level there is a master bedroom, with simple access off the kitchen and private access to the bathroom. Great for parents wanting a separate space from their kiddos, or a incredible spot for in-law/grandparents.

Upstairs we have three additional bedrooms and a loft/flex space.

Currently, the loft is used with kids in mind. We have crafts and a table for kids to be creative for any afternoon storm time.

There is a bedroom specifically keeping the kids in mind. It features 2 twin beds.

The second bedroom upstairs features a king size bed and shares a bathroom with the kids bedroom.

There is also a master upstairs! This room is too ideal for parents. It features a king size bed, and the attached private bathroom spared no expense for us. It's got handmade tile in the bathroom, concrete countertops featuring shells from the intracoastal and granite floor. It also has a massive tub for your enjoyment. The master also has its own private balcony, which is hands down the best spot to watch dolphins and the sunrise.

Our location is unique, we're located right across from a protected island. So the vistas will always be unspoiled from development. We're also down a long gravel driveway giving you plenty of privacy. We are also on a peninsula, accepting not only intracoastal and ocean vistas, but marsh vistas on the backside. One of my favorite things about this property is the marsh. The marsh is so alive, and something right out of a novel.

We have a enormous lot- esp for the beach! Please use the playground, pier, and property at your own discretion. The yard is ideal for our fur kids to also get some off leash exercise, please just make sure our pet friends stay in our yard- while it's very private, we do have neighbors that share that long dirt road we live down.

For the pier, the boat slips are available for an additional fee upon prior approval and assuming the slips aren't already rented. Feel complimentary to fish or clam or crab! There is a sand bar that peaks it's head at low tide, it is a MUST to go discover the sandbar. Let the kids catch a hermit crab or go clamming to get a real feel for the coastal lifestyle. Feel complimentary to grab a kayak or paddle board if available. We have multiple but guests tend to not exactly "care" for these items so it's dwindling each year we rent. But, you're always more than welcome to bring whatever gear you may need to savor the water.

We also feature an outdoor bathroom and a separate outdoor shower. If you've got kids, you've heard the bathroom pleas as soon as you get located. The outdoor bath makes it easier than taking soaking wet little ones all the way in the home! The shower is superb to wash all that sand off prior to going inside too, and obviously something us owners adore for guests to use!

This home is at the end of nearly a mile long dirt driveway, it's a very private escape! If seclusion isn't your thing, or you like city lights, this listing isn't for you!

We're always updating furnishings and my toxic trait is never being done with renovations, so expect some updates from current photos!

Looking for a family reunion? Book our Ocean Tides private home also. Vistas of the Atlantic Ocean can be seen from our freshly modernized property right next door!

Minutes away from Carolina Beach, the NC Fort Fisher Aquarium, the NC Battleship, golf courses or downtown Wilmington. This home spared no expense to really make it a getaway to visit time and time again. You will appreciate this coastal bungalow that looks like it came out of a novel. We only rent enough to be able to hang on to the property and appreciate it ourselves! We hope you appreciate our home as much as ours. In a ideal world our guests would be yearly repeat visitors!

Finding the best vacation property experience:

Getting the most from your budget:

  • Summer months are the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To get the best value, consider changing your family's Southport vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
  • The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Reserving your rental home up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
  • Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
  • Booking websites usually offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
  • Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitors guide magazines which include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Selecting the perfect rental home in the Southport area:

  • Start by selecting your vacation dates and a max budget.
  • Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Twin Tides Intracoastal waterway cottage w\/views of the ocean private dock &more has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rental home search.
  • Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible online. If not, contact the property manager before booking your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to determine what is best for your vacation family.
  • Looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental home.
  • Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.
  • Some rental properties allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

  • Put the host's information in your smartphone.
  • At Check-in, document any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all coorespondence.
  • Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many concerns.
  • Be respectful. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
  • 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 find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
  • Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would back home.
  • Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
  • Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
  • Did your family have a fantastic time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.

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.
