NEWLY RENOVATED--This is our family beach home. We hope that you will adore our beautiful home as much as we do! We modernized it over 2019 and 2020 and are now renting the home on a limited basis.

The Poisson Beach House features an open floor plan living room on the third floor with vaulted ceilings and vistas of the sound and ocean. The handsome tile on the wood fireplace and wet bar was imported from Italy. The open kitchen is entirely outfitted and accepts you to be social and prepare a killer meal at the same time. There is a gorgeous half bath on the third floor available to your guests. There is also a huge master suite on the third floor with a four-poster bed and en suite bath. The master bedroom opens to a porches on both the ocean and sound side of the home.

The home is just as comfortable outside as it is inside. The eight porches will allow your family to take full advantage of the sea air during your stay. Each bedroom opens onto its own porch, as does each living space. The main porch is located on the third floor of the home on the ocean side. It features a comfortable outdoor sectional that is ideal for calming and appreciating your coffee or a drink. There is also a hammock chair and benches for additional seating. The rear porches are great for enjoying some yoga or a good book. The rear upper porch off of the dining area is screened and has a table and chairs to allow you to dine al fresco. There is also an comfortably accessible gas grille on this porch that is convenient to the kitchen.

The second floor of the home has a game room complete with TV, pool table, card table and couch for relaxing. There are three bedrooms on the second floor, each with its own en suite bathroom. One bedroom features two twin beds, another bedroom features a full bed, and the third bedroom features two queen sized beds. The twin and full bedrooms open to an outdoor living area on a screened in porch.

There is no need to worry about carrying your suitcases and groceries up all of the stairs because the property features an elevator. The elevator is available for use by guests, but we ask that kids not be allowed to use the elevator unsupervised.

Under the home we provide you with all of the amenities you will need for a fun beach stay. We provide beach chairs, two beach cruisers, a beach umbrella, beach toys, body boards, a frisbee and a portable volleyball set. There is also a regulation ping pong table ideal for friendly family fun. Our outdoor shower will allow you to clean off before returning to the home at the end of the day. We are located just a short walk from the beach or from the sound. This home has brought us a lot of joy over the years, and we are excited to share it with you. Our home has been meticulously maintained, no family pets please!

Tricks and tips to get the best Wilmington, NC vacation rental experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the largest rental home for your budget, we suggest booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite Wilmington, NC restaurants and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines have money saving offers on local tours, shops, and attractions.

How to choose and book the rightrental:

• Start by having your family choose vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Family-Friendly
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible online. If they are not listed, reach out to the property owner before booking your home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to work out what is suitable for your vacation.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you will need a rental that allows animals. Ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a specific Wilmington, NC attraction you simply love, search for homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

More tips for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents quite a few problems.
• Lock your rental while you're out and about. Keep your property safe!
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your visit, inspect for any problem areas during check in. Get in touch with the rental manager immediately to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a excellent time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
