This gorgeous home is the answer to all your cravings for tranquility, peaceful, serenity, and happiness. Located in the peaceful wooded area of Oak Island, but still very close to the beach and all the outstanding activities and great eateries the island and surrounding towns have to offer. Surrounded by elegant trees, you can start your mornings out slow on the calming screened porch with your favorite cup of coffee as the ocean breezes rustle gently through the trees and breathe in the healing salt air. Inside, you will continue to feel a sense of calm as you take in the soothingly decorated beach theme throughout the home. With the open-concept floor plan, everybody can be together, even as the chef in the family whips up a special meal. The master bedroom suite is very cavernous and offers a whirlpool tub in the private bath so you can relax your cares away. There are also two guest bedrooms - one a bunk bedroom, ideal for the kids - the other offering a queen and a twin single, ideal for a modest family or teenagers. Don't forget about the huge fenced backyard where you can grille out your catch from a day of fishing at the beach or visit one of the local fresh seafood markets to grab your dinner! Appreciate rocking away on the two-seater swing under the home as the kids play, catching up on old times with family and friends. Everything here is so calming and impressive that you will be "happy clams" wanting to come back year after year!

How to find the best Wilmington, NC vacation property experience:

Sticking to a budget:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are high season in the Wilmington, NC area. To get the best value, try changing your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer great temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your group qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel 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 magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines contain discounts for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Selecting the best rental home in Oak Island:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your vacation week, and choose a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. 3 BR/2 BA Home, Minutes to Beach, Pool with Heating, Sleeps 9 has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC rental home search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, reach out to the property management company before you reserve the rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Request details on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property managers charge additional pet fees.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.

More considerations:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents lots of concerns.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would at home.
• To make certain that no damages are linked to your visit, make note of any problem areas upon check in. message the property manager right away to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a wonderful vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
