Isn’t it high time that you savor a little Beach Treat? Gather the family and check in at this coastal-chic bungalow located just three rows back from the ocean and in walking distance of Ocean Crest Fishing Pier.

Settle in the living room to stream a favorite show together as you reflect on the day’s adventures. The open concept living space flows into the eat-in kitchen, where four or more can sit around the center island and keep the family chef company as they prepare the catch of the day or fresh local produce - everything you need to prepare meals for your crew is supplied. The round kitchen table also seats four to five people, so there’s plenty of space for everybody. Rolling barn doors close off a cavernous laundry closet with a full-sized washer and dryer.

On the east side of the home, the ocean-facing bedroom is furnished with a queen bed, and the full bathroom has a standard tub/shower combo and hall access. On the west side of the home, the second bathroom offers the same layout and is located between the remaining two bedrooms. The oceanfront room on this side also provides a queen bed, while the streetside bedroom has two twins. All bedrooms as well as the common areas offer ceiling fans for your comfort, and you’ll find wood floors throughout the home with the exception of tiled bathrooms.

Outside, the partially covered front porch offers glimpses of the Atlantic and furnishings for dining or calming and wraps around one side of the home to a generous back deck where you can soak in the sunshine. Look out over the grassy backyard, where a modest copse of trees shades an inviting seating area with a natural bench fashioned from a fallen trunk.
Under the home, a porch swing provides the ideal shady spot to sway and listen to the waves, while an enclosed outdoor shower makes rinsing off after visiting the beach fast and painless. Speaking of the beach, you’ll be on the sand in moments each day thanks to a beach access point roughly 400 feet from your front door. Centrally located on Oak Island, Beach Treat is convenient to local activities, stores and eateries, as well as the bridge leading to beautiful Southport and its many stores and historic points of interest. So whether your idea of a vacation is to taking long naps in the island breeze, exploring local landmarks or teeing up for 18 holes at one of the area's playable but challenging golf courses, you will find your island home at Beach Treat!

Get the most from your spending budget:

• Summer time is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. To find the largest rental within budget, we recommend reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• In the Wilmington, NC area, The earlier you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved early. Booking your rental property up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• 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 frequently offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of 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 visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides have offers and deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all personal items. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on good reviews to propel future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
