Stunning sunset vistas, white sand stretching out before your eyes, and even your furry co-pilot along for the ride – your next adventure begins at A New Hope! Float weightlessly in the private pool, gather on the wrap-around porches to lounge and appreciate the island breeze or settle around the front yard firepit during chilly weather as the soundtrack of the waves plays in the distance. Located just across the street from the shore and close to the Oak Island Pier, beach access is a breeze, and you can effortlessly walk to numerous local bars and eateries in the evenings.

On the first floor, you’ll enter into the smaller of two living rooms. A comfortable sectional and matching armchair still provide plenty of seating for your crew to savor a movie or stream a favorite show on the flatscreen TV. The sectional converts to a queen sleeper couch if additional sleeping space is needed. Two bedrooms, each with a queen bed, share a connecting full bath. Both feature direct deck access. The bunk room is also located on this floor with a double-over-double bunk bed along with a twin trundle. This room includes a private full bath, and there is an additional full bathroom with hall access just off the living room to ensure everybody has enough space to get ready.

Upstairs, you’ll find an open concept main living space flooded with natural light. Thanks to the reverse floorplan and broad windows, you’ll take in pretty vistas of the Atlantic from the high ground whether you sink into the couches or venture out to the covered porch beyond. The sturdy dining table just beyond the living room can seat up to ten for both family meals and friendly game nights. The adjacent kitchen has plenty of counter space and all the appliances and cookware you’ll need to prepare freshly caught fish or seasonal produce from local markets. Plus, a dedicated pantry means there’s actually enough room to put your supplies away! A half bath is located just off the kitchen for your convenience.

The master bedroom is also located on this floor, complete with a king bed and direct deck access. Wake up to the sights and sounds of the waves each morning! As in all of the downstairs bedrooms, there is a flatscreen TV for personal entertainment. The attached private bath features a walk-in tiled shower with a rainfall showerhead as well as a detachable handheld wand.

In the backyard, the fenced pool area features tropical landscaping and plenty of furnishings for catching a tan or dining al fresco. The pool itself is enormous enough for everybody to splash or float comfortably, and even includes a tanning ledge. The enclosed outdoor shower makes cleaning the sand off of kids or canines (this home accepts up to one dog per stay) painless and convenient. In the front yard, Adirondack chairs are arranged around the firepit. Tell stories to the little ones as you’re dramatically lit by firelight and teach the time-honored tradition of roasting the ideal marshmallow to the crashing music of the waves. Set your course, gather your crew and have a blast on a classic beach adventure at A New Hope!

How to get the best Oak Island rental experience:

Sticking to a rental home budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Oak Island. Reserve your rental in Spring or Fall to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitors guide magazines that include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to establish what bed configuration is best for your trip.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your . Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• Note any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if damages are assessed.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent quite a few problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors bothering your peace and quiet. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to confirm you didn't leave anything behind. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on good ratings to stimulate new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
