Unwind at this calming beach home located on the striking west side about mid-island on a street with direct public beach access just steps away! No need to drive and try to find parking. Feel complimentary to bring your family pets, if desired! Home has 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths. (3 queen rooms and 1 bunk room with 2 sets of twin-over-twin bunk beds), each room has their own intelligent TV. Ideal for families or a few couples! The kitchen is open to the great room. All furnishings has been newly upgraded, along with decor and linens. There are 2 outdoor showers, one enclosed/private in the backyard and the other in front yard to rinse off before going in the home. There is a “crow’s nest” top deck where you can savor sunrise and sunset vistas of the inter-coastal and ocean! The kitchen is completely equipped with all kitchen essentials. There is a laundry room w/washer & dryer and a grille on-site.

Note, there are exterior security cameras at front & rear entrance into the home, as well as garage/carport area. There are no cameras in the interior of the home. They are stringently used for security at entrances and fire/damage protection while home is unoccupied.

In peak season, mid-June through mid-August, we require a 7-day minimum stay that goes from Sun-Sun. We made this change to ensure our cleaning crew has time to do a thorough clean & launder the linens. Saturdays in beach towns, the cleaning crews are spread very thin with little time to clean. In addition to having a very clean home, another renter benefit is you won’t experience the intense check-in/check-out traffic on Saturdays. ????

*Note, if bringing a pet(s), you must include them in your reservation when booking. In addition, to help us prepare for your visit; please select the actual number of adults & kids in your guest count.

When to book a Wilmington, NC rental home & When to go:

• The sooner you can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved early. Reserving your vacation rental up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.

Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines have money saving offers on nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Record any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if damages are attributed to your stay.

Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback find their best vacation home. Be fair with your review.
