You have found it! Your ideal beach hideaway is here…just step Into The Mystic! What makes Into The Mystic so special? This home just finished an broad remodel project in April of 2024 as part of a well-known home renovation show set to air on a major network later this year!

With the beach right at your back door, appreciate the tranquility of an early morning beach walk where you can catch dolphins playing in the early morning sun or snuggle up on the deck as you get lost in the stars of the midnight sky. The ocean side covered deck is the ideal place to relax in the rocking chairs as you sip an icy cold drink from the sizable ice chest. It has a bar with stools, and a table and chairs. The deck box is outfitted with beach items and toys, to sink your toes into the warm sand and savor the ocean breeze. 

Appreciate your morning coffee on the new quartzite counters as you gaze out at the impressive ocean view from the picture window above the sink. Munch on some breakfast at the gigantic kitchen island. This beachfront vacation-ready home sleeps eight with two full bathrooms and one half bathroom. The warm and inviting living space makes this home the ideal place for the next family vacation, complete with infant and kid-friendly amenities, or a friend reunion. The upstairs movie room has a 65" T.V. and provides valuable additional space to relax; the sectional within is huge and comfortable enough for two to take a mid-afternoon nap, or even to utilize as an additional sleeping space.

With four T.V.s, you have access to streaming services like Hulu, Hulu Live, Disney+ and ESPN+. You also have games and activities to keep you entertained as you rest and relax inside. Unwind, renew and spend time with appreciated ones at Into The Mystic.

Guests with allergies should note that although no family pets are allowed for guest stays, dogs may occasionally be present during owner reservations.

Our top Wilmington, NC vacation rental home tips:

When to visit Oak Island & When to reserve a Oak Island rental home:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To find the largest rental home within budget, we recommend reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. 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? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, travel guides contain deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Planning and picking the best Wilmington, NC vacation home:

• Select your dates and max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Into the Mystic: Family-friendly, Oceanfront Home on Island's West Beach has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible on booking pages. If not, call the property management company before booking your rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to determine what is suitable for your vacation group.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a single event? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.

Tips for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent lots of problems.
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let crooks spoil your vacation.
• Document any damages to the property at check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be helpful if there is a dispute.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a fantastic source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on good feedback to inspire new bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
