Down the hall from the living room, the second full bathroom offers a step-in shower stall and shared hall access for the final two bedrooms. One bedroom offers a queen bed and a twin, while the other has a queen and a double.

Downstairs, the enclosed garage creates a welcome additional space for kids to run off energy should your stay include a rainy day. You’ll find the charcoal grille stored here until you’re ready for it, along with beach chairs for your use. There is also a laundry room with a full-sized washer and dryer. Outside, the enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water accepts you to rinse off the sand while appreciating the calming ocean breezes before heading upstairs.

The partially covered oceanfront porch is where you’re sure to spend many of your vacation hours. Whether you choose to settle in at the extended wooden picnic table with plenty of space for everybody to dine al fresca or the classic rocking chairs grouped for peaceful conversation, time seems to slow as you soak in the sun, lift your face to the breeze and slow your breathing to the rhythm of the waves. And when you can no longer resist the urge to dip your toes in the water, you’ll find beach access is painless and fast thanks to a dedicated sand path.

Tips for getting the best Wilmington, NC rental experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Wilmington, NC area. To book the best rental home for your budget, we recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular Wilmington, NC attractions and restaurants. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Some hosts and property managers offer rate reductions for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area travel guide magazines that include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Start by having your group choose a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Admiral's Quarters: Cozy Oceanfront Home with Covered Porch has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, email the property manager before you book the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You will need to determine what bed configuration is best for your vacation.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly property. Request information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

Considerations for your stay:

• Add the property manager's contact info to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• During arrival, record any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your home life. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and places you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected everything. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a wonderful stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
