Wake up to the handsome sights the Intracoastal Waterway has to offer each morning by making your way to the dock with a warm cup of coffee to savor, or even a complete breakfast al fresco thanks to the outdoor dining set arranged there. Drink in the natural beauty as you watch shore birds, deer, fox, and even bald eagles from the privacy of your own backyard. Dockside Heaven offers a calming coastal getaway in a prime location just around the corner from local stores and eateries and a straight shot down the road to the beach, while also providing the opportunity to chill in the backyard or lazily sway in the hammock as you watch sailboats pass by throughout the day. Finest of all, this dog-friendly home accepts you to bring your furry best friend along for the adventure. And if you are looking to bring your boat on vacation the public boat ramp at NE 55th street is just three blocks away making it simple and convenient to hit the water.

The living area features wood beam ceilings and plenty of space to stretch out and spend time with the ones you appreciate. Richly colored rooms paired with the unique artwork scattered throughout the home make this is really a one-of-a-kind getaway. The gleaming deep wood and broad counterspace of the kitchen invite you to prepare favorite dishes or lay out the ultimate charcuterie board for lazy snacking. Gather around the sizable flat screened T.V. to bond over a favorite movie in the living room, or retire to the lounge for intimate conversation or an engaging game nighttime.

Three bedrooms allow space for your entire group including one king bed, one queen and a queen futon. After a long day full of island adventures, relax with a relaxing soak in the enormous tub in the shared bath, or ease weary muscles in the calming steam shower located in the en-suite master bathroom.

Combining the peaceful pace of life on the waterway with the convenient location close to East Beach eateries and stores, this home really is a Dockside Paradise. See you soon at the dock!

Our top Vacation rental home tips:

How to get the best rental value:

• Summertime is high season in Oak Island. To book the best vacation home within your budget, we highly recommend booking in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at popular Wilmington, NC attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• In the Wilmington, NC area, The sooner you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early. Booking your rental six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your family qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers often offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area travel guides that include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Narrow your Search:

• To start, have your family select dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Dockside Paradise: Artsy and Eclectic with Views of Intracoastal Waterway has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally available on booking pages. If not, email or call the property manager before reserving the rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a property that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property managers charge additional pet fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• Put the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make certain damages are not attributed to your visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas when you arrive. E-mail the host immediately to record your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, television set or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few problems.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected everything. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and scan for damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a fantastic stay? Most rental managers make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
