Located between the pretty beaches of Oak Island and the spectacular Davis Canal, Family Tides is mins. from the beach and a fast bicycle ride away from eateries, shopping and groceries galore. This bright and cheerful bungalow, only 3 rows back from the ocean, features marsh vistas and a 2.5-story floor plan with a additional kids/game room on the lower level. With 4 BR, this is an ideal beach home for 2 families – comfortable for 3 – to share and savor together for a calming oceanside holiday.

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 breathtaking walkway over the Davis Canal at 29th St is even closer than the beach and provides a incredible 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.
Adore 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 huge (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.

Tips to get the very best rental home experience:

Find your perfect rental home:

• In the Wilmington, NC area, The earlier you can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your rental home six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Booking a rental in Fall or Spring months is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Often, rental management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guide magazines that include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select dates and budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your family needs. 3Min Walk to Beach w/Marsh View: Bright Spacious Family Home has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible on booking pages. If not, reach out to the property management company before you book the home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or costs may be applied to your agreement.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking

More considerations for your visit:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you're out. Keep your property safe!
• Document any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be useful if there is a dispute.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on good ratings to stimulate new bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will be thankful you shared your feedback 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 expeditiously to fix it.
