There are two bedrooms in the main home and one over the detached garage. All bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms. A ideal set up for a group of friends, two modest families or one big family.

The kitchen is equipped with everything you need and more - Burkee water filter, toaster oven, air fryer, Instapot pressure cooker and slow cooker, Cuisinart ice cream maker, and quality kitchen knives.

All bedrooms come with Dom sound machines. Both guest rooms have a TV with streaming services or DVD player and tons of DVDs.

Rental booking tips and tricks:

Getting the best value:

• Summertime is high season in Bald Head Island. Booking your vacation home in the Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guides which include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Make a plan and pick the right Wilmington, NC rental home:

• First and foremost, have your family decide on trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Cozy Family Retreat Near East Beach has 3 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking pages. If not, email or call the property manager before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You will need to determine what is suitable for your group.
• Are you visiting for a single event? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly rental. Request details on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your family's visit, make a record of any problem areas upon your arrival. Call the property manager right away to relay any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents quite a few problems.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let thieves ruin your holiday.
• On check-out day, take a final walk-through to make sure you didn't forget any personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a great stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
