Searching for the ultimate getaway for a coastal hideaway with your family, friends, and furry pals? Look no further than Sun and Waves — a splendid pet-friendly 3 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom vacation home on Oak Island! It's conveniently located between the beach and Montgomery Slough, giving you the best of both worlds: ocean and marsh vistas! Highlights include a private pool, multiple balconies, two massive primary suites (both with additional trundle daybeds), and so much more. Plus, it's a short walk to the beach and less than 2 miles from the Ocean Crest Pier, where you'll find oceanfront eateries and exceptional fishing.

Savor your morning coffee or the famed sunsets from one of the two oceanside balconies with your furry family members! The lower balcony features a bench swing and multiple chairs; it even has a gate to keep the doggies from going to the beach without you. The upper balcony offers spectacular ocean vistas and has a dining table ideal for playing games or eating together! Heading to the ground level, you'll find the roomy private pool with wide steps and various multi-level spots for sitting and calming partially underwater. There's ample seating in this fenced-in area with two tables and multiple lounger chairs to relax in the sun or watch the stars together at nighttime. And when it's time for some beach waves, all you need are your leashes! Beach chairs and a wagon are included to make the fast walk to the shore a breeze.

Inside, you'll be greeted into the calming yet handsome living space with coastal vibes and comfortable couches to kick your feet up after a long day of fun in the sun! Turn on the tropical-weave ceiling fan for an interior breeze, and watch your favorite shows or movies on the flatscreen TV. The galley-style kitchen features granite countertops, a enormous double sink, stainless steel appliances, and an abundance of opulent cabinetry. Have a master griller in your group? There's even a gas grille on the back balcony to prepare your freshly caught seafood and favorite recipes! When it's time to gather around for meals, you'll find a refined dining table with seating for up to 8 and a bar top area that seats up to 3. If you prefer dining outside, there are many options — including the bistro dining set on the back balcony, where you can overlook the marsh and pool.

The downstairs primary bedroom suite is enormous! It features a king-size bed, a flatscreen TV, and an ensuite bathroom with dual vanity, ample storage space, and a tub/shower combination. You'll also find an attached sunroom with a twin daybed with a twin trundle that can be closed off with a sliding door. The upstairs primary suite is just as broad and has a matching setup — king-size bed, ensuite with tub/shower combination, and additional sunroom with a twin daybed with a twin trundle. The third bedroom is located on the top floor and is great for the younger travelers in your group with themed comforters and 2 sets of bunk beds (one is a twin over twin, and the other is a double over double). It also has an ensuite bathroom featuring an extended vanity and a walk-in corner shower.

There's no way for us to list all of the amenities you'll find at Sun and Waves, like the half bath and laundry room combination on the main floor! There's even an outdoor shower with hot/cold water and wireless internet if you need to stay connected while you're here. Sound like the ideal hideaway for you and your group? Book your stay today!

Strategies to get the very best Wilmington, NC vacation property experience:

Money saving strategies:

• In the Wilmington, NC area, The earlier you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked very early. Reserving your vacation property 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Book your Wilmington, NC rental home in Spring or Fall to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Some property managers offer rate reductions for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC area magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guide magazines have coupons for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Choosing and booking the perfect Wilmington, NC rental:

• First and foremost, have your group agree to a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. 3rd Row w\/ Private Pool, 2 Primary Suites & VIEWS has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the property manager before reserving the rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to establish which bed configuration is right for your family.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, search for a pet-friendly rental. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Some things to know before you go:

• Add the property manager's contact information to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent quite a few problems.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are out, just like you would back home.
• During arrival, make note of any issues with the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a terrific resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, remember to take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Most rental managers make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
