Plus, you can't get any closer to the Ocean Crest Pier than when you stay here — it's literally right across the street from beach access and all the amenities at the pier, like the oceanfront restaurant Island Way. Talk about the ideal location!

It was purposefully designed with a reverse floor plan to take advantage of the beautiful ocean vistas from the main living area, kitchen, and dining spaces. Upon walking into this open floor plan on the top level, you'll be blown away by those vistas, vaulted ceilings, and high-end finishes throughout. There's an upsized sectional couch for snuggling up and watching your favorite shows on the sizable flatscreen TV after a beach day or exploring the island. The handsome kitchen has granite countertops, a tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances (including a double oven), and a roomy kitchen island with bar seating for up to 4. One of the unique features of this home is the massive dining room table that turns into a pool table with an ocean view! How cool is that?

For those who can't wait to soak up the sun and relax, you'll find many outdoor spaces and plenty of seating options to do just that! The private pool area is a backyard getaway offering 6 lounge chairs and a set of Adirondack chairs. You'll find two oceanside balconies to watch the sunrise and the sunset over the Atlantic with your favorite drink in hand. Both of the two poolside balconies offer stairs leading all the way from the top floor to the ground level with the pool. The hot tub is one of our favorite spots to relax in the evening, especially after an afternoon of golf or walking around the local sights.

Back inside, the elegant interior design extends into the primary bedroom suite that features a extravagant king-size bed, a sliding door that leads to the top balcony, and modren coastal furnishings. The ensuite bathroom offers a spa-like experience with a bespoke tiled shower and double vanity. The half bathroom completes this top floor.

Heading downstairs, you'll find all four guest bedrooms — one king bedroom, one queen bedroom with ocean vistas, another queen bedroom, and then a bunk room with a double over single and trundle. Again, please note that the photos are different from the current configuration and will be refreshed soon. Two sets of Jack and Jill bathrooms on this level connect two of the bedrooms together. These bathrooms feature granite countertops, double vanities, and tub/shower combinations.

Tips and Tricks for getting the best rental experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Wilmington, NC area. To get the most suitable rental home within budget, we highly recommend booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities.
• In the Wilmington, NC area, The sooner you can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved early. Booking your rental up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Hosts sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guides have offers and deals for nearby tours and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your family needs. 2nd Row Directly Across from Pier w/ Private Pool, Hot Tub, and More has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available on booking websites. If not, call the property management company before booking the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If there's a particular Wilmington, NC beach you love, keep an eye out for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some properties allow pets, but some don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the owner about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Tips for your stay:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
• Make a record of any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be beneficial if damages are assessed.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let thieves ruin your family vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected everything. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, ensure that you take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on great ratings to stimulate more bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
