Welcome to a Shore Foundation. This vacation home is the Foundation of fun times with appreciated ones by the Shore. Positioned on the 2nd row, grab the beach cart & chairs & head to the shellabration across the street. Since you have such a short walk, you don’t have to search or pay for parking. On the ground level are highlights of the property. The saltwater pool, hot tub, sectional wicker seating & bar with TV will make you want to call the cabana boy for your pina colada. From the 2 Front Decks you have an ocean view. Go ahead, check the surf. With the Ocean Crest Pier just a short drive away, you can pull up it’s web cam. Since OKI is a South facing beach, the sun rises & sets over the water. From the decks, you get photo worthy vistas. Back decks are also on 2 levels & overlook the pool activities. Drive under the covered parking & unload your suitcases & provisions straight into the elevator. No lugging heavy bags up the steps.

The Upper Level has the modern design of a reverse floorplan to maximize ocean vistas. It is a light & airy open plan living/dining/kitchen. The glass door & multiple huge windows give a variety of charming daytime & sunset vistas. Indoors you may choose to sit at the 8 seat dining table or at one of the 4 seats at the kitchen island. On those handsome blue sky days OKI is known for, savor the outdoor table on the deck & dine alfresco. This vacation home is definitely kid friendly: Pack ’n Play, highchair, kid-sized plates/silverware & even a kid-sized table with benches next to the dining table. The living area has plenty of comfortable seating, sectional couch & upholstered chair, with a sizable screen TV to watch your favorite shows. The well-outfitted kitchen includes: a Duo Keurig k-cup & drip coffee maker, griddle, Ninja blender (perhaps those pina coladas are possible after all!), Cuisinart stand mixer with all the attachments, 4 slice toaster & in an adjoining closet is a drink cooler.

On the Lower Level there are 4 bedrooms & 3 full baths. The Lower Level front deck is covered & has a daybed swing just calling out for a snooze. Let the sound of the waves kissing the shore lull you to sleep. Also on that deck is an open air area with a glider for those who appreciate to sway & feel the warm sunshine on their face. The lower covered back deck has a view of the pool with 2 Southern rockers & a bar height table. Bring out your coffee in the mornings & listen to the call of the gulls. With sliding glass door access to the back deck is an additional bedroom with a queen pull out couch that also serves as an entertainment room with a sizable screen TV, a dry bar, and a beverage cooler.

Upstairs in addition to the 3 bedrooms & 2 full baths, is a half bath right off the dining/kitchen areas. The upper front deck has a 6 seat table with a view of the ocean. The upper level back deck has a view of the pool & 2 rockers with a bar height table. This deck is not covered so you can sit here in the evenings to see the wonders of the nighttime sky above you. As a modest family beach, we don’t have the bright lights of the city which hide the stars.

This vacation home does not feel like a rental but more of a resort. After a day at the beach (just across the street) in the sand & sun, the fun doesn’t end. Whether it’s the pool, hot tub or swaying in the daybed swing with that book you’ve been wanting to read, there are so many amenities that you may not be able to pick your favorite.

Tips and Tricks to get the best Wilmington, NC vacation property experience:

When to book & When to go:

• In the Wilmington, NC area, The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are reserved early. Reserving your vacation home up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Book your Wilmington, NC rental property in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area travel guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Selecting and booking a perfect Wilmington, NC rental home:

• Start by having your family select date ranges and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration you need. Amazing Ocean Views, Dog Friendly, Heated Salt Water Pool, Hot Tub, Elevator, Beach Chairs w/ Cart has 8 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally accessible online. If not, contact the property management company before booking your home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what configuration is best for your group.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the owner about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• Does your family require particular amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

More considerations:

• Store the host's information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Document any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if damages are assessed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors bothering your peaceful home life. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and attractions you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a great vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
