The home has been freshly refreshed throughout with new floor, washer/dryer, couches, bed sets and comforters. The inviting features continue outside, where you’ll find an broad front deck and screened back porch with plenty of room and a view that includes glimpses of the water and canal.

Each bedroom also has a private deck with additional furnishings. Dine al Fresco with a drink in-hand on the screened porch or in the enormous backyard while lazily relaxing in the hammock or tree swing. A short walk of fewer than 4 mins. takes you from the driveway to the sand where you’ll lay your blanket.

As an added additional, the spectacular walkway over the Davis Canal at 29th St is even closer than the beach and provides a magnificent opportunity to view the island’s wildlife, including foxes, herons, and other shorebirds, deer, and more. This walkway also provides simple access to the Oak Island Recreation Center. Fishing is available from one of two fishing piers on the island as well as from the Davis Canal, 40th Street inlet.
Appreciate being out on the water? With over 100 ft of driveway to park your boat trailer and drive to one of the many boat launches all over the island, you can quickly be out on the ICW (inter coastal waterway) which gives you water access to the Atlantic Ocean, Lockwood Folly River, Southport or Baldhead Island. For a unique beach experience take a drive out to The Point.
Need more? There are two public golf courses on Oak Island and well over 15 golf courses with scenic vistas and natural settings within a 20 min. to 1-hour drive.
Just bring your beach towels! Beach chairs, umbrellas, toys for the kiddos, a sizable (wheeled) cooler, bicycles and a wagon are included at no additional cost. An enclosed outside shower with hot and cold water, as well as a changing area, make cleaning up after returning from the beach a breeze.

Getting the best rental home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• To get the largest rental for your budget, we suggest booking in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular Wilmington, NC attractions and restaurants. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• The earlier you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your rental home up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Some property management companies offer rate reductions for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines contain offers and deals for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Choose your vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. 3Min Walk to Beach w\/Marsh View: Bright Spacious Family Home has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available online. If not, email or call the property manager before reserving your rental. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Does your family require special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some properties allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the owner about pet restrictions before booking.

More tips for your stay:

• Get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your . Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Document any damages to the property during check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents many difficulties.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your vacation home while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a 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, take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a excellent stay? Many rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
