When checking out North Carolina vacation rentals, keep in mind the state's most popular attractions. The Biltmore Estate in Asheville is one of these, and it's considered by some as the largest private home in the United States. Built in the glitzy Chateauesque style by George Washington Vanderbilt II, it contains an incredible trove of artwork and antiques. The USS North Carolina is a real treat for war history enthusiasts. Commissioned during WWII on April 9, 1941, the heavily-armed ship now invites visitors to explore its interior. For Carolina Panthers fans, the colossal Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte will be the one place that matters.
Wherever you chose to stay, North Carolina vacation rentals provide a perfect base for an action-packed itinerary. If you're a bit of a sun worshipper, the state's beach-gilded coastline provides endless opportunities for a traditional beach vacation, particularly in places like Carova Beach, where you can unwind on the sand alongside wild horses. For something more energetic, take a segwey tour through the state's largest city Charlotte, and tick off the star attractions as you glide along. If you're one for the great outdoors, Great Smoky Mountains National Park offers stacks of outdoors activities, such as fishing, wildlife watching and hiking through the park's wild, unspoiled trails.
From the mountains to the beach, North Carolina is an adventure playground for outdoor enthusiasts. The alpine environment brings skiing, snowboarding, sledding, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, and other winter sports, as well as zip lining, mountaineering, and hiking. Near the coast, vacationers enjoy swimming, surfing, windsurfing, paddleboarding, snorkeling, and diving in the beautiful waters. No matter your inclination, you'll find a range of fun outdoor activities near your vacation rental.
North Carolina boasts a subtropical climate, which for those already from warm climates, is agreeable year-round. July and August are typically the hottest months, with the areas in the mountains providing ever-so-slightly cooler temperatures compared to the central cities. While many enjoy the state's weather, those used to cooler temperatures might find the summer heat and humidity quite stifling, so it's usually better to visit during late-September and October. Fortunately, the beaches are still perfect for swimming and sunbathing during that time, so you won't miss out on a little sun-kissed R&R.
Whether you're looking at North Carolina vacation rentals in a bustling city or in amongst the great outdoors, the state's natural beauty is never far away. While sandy beaches fringe its shore, the sprawling Great Smoky Mountains National Park straddles the divide between the state and its neighbor Tennessee. Here, lush forests, shimmering waterfalls and year-round blooming wildflowers create postcard-perfect scenes, interwoven by hiking trails that include famous Appalachian Trail. North Carolina is also home to Linville Gorge. Known as "The Grand Canyon of the East", it's home to a dramatic waterfall, arguably the state's best-looking water feature.
North Carolina is famous for a number of unique delicacies. Pork barbecue and bacon are the most popular dishes in the state, with each region offering its own spin on the classic recipe. Other iconic treats include fresh-caught shrimp, plucked-from-the-tree peaches, and fried green tomatoes, all of which can be sampled in local restaurants and eateries near your vacation rental.
