Recently constructed, Moondance delights with its designer touches! Located in charming Cape Fear Station, this sanctuary charms from your first glance at the curb through its rooftop deck. Enter through the white picket-fenced yard to the first story of this reverse-floor plan home. You'll delight in its special touches-warm wooden floors, shiplapped walls and ceilings and sliding barn doors. On this level you will find a comfortable TV den, laundry room and two bedrooms. The first bedroom is a King Owner's Suite with a handsome and private full bath ensuite. The second is a bunk room which uses the full bath just outside its door. Out the side entrance on this floor is a forested deck, with grille, that offers a peaceful spot to commune with nature and bridges the main home with the crofter.

The crofter provides serenity and inspired touches. Its screened porch is highlighted by a hanging swing where you can while away the hours calming and appreciating ocean lullabies. Inside, this Queen suite is furnished not only with a Queen bed but also with a hanging trundle and provides a full ensuite bath. It's ideal for a modest family.

Back in the main home, the bright, open second level awes with its vaulted, beamed ceilings and walls of windows that let you savor tree-top living. The gourmet kitchen’s granite counters and high-end stainless appliances gleam and beckon chefs, and would-be chefs, to appreciate creating culinary delights. Beyond the kitchen’s generous island-that offers plenty of prep room as well as a breakfast bar for four-is a sizable dining table seating ten and accented by an eye-catching shell chandelier. You can eat at either of these spaces or savor al fresco dining on the close by screened porch.

Flowing from the dining area is the enormous, open gathering space which features a roomy wrap-around couch, TV and decorative fireplace. This spot is ideal for conversation or game-playing. Like the lower level, the upstairs is highlighted by wooden floors, shiplap and sand- and water-colored accents. This level also includes another Queen bedroom as well as a pretty full bath.

Be sure not to miss the outdoor spiral stairs, just outside of the kitchen, that lead to the rooftop deck. This is not only a very private sunbathing getaway but also offers killer vistas of Frying Pan Shoals, East Beach and South Beach AND a hot tub! Relish your morning coffee here while taking in the sunrise or enjoy an afternoon libation from your own expansive perch.

Moondance’s other amenities include use of two golf carts-a four-passenger and a six-passenger, an outdoor shower, bicycles, beach towels and beach chairs. For a vacation that will have you feeling like dancing on the moon, stay at Moondance!

Remember, with Wendy Wilmot Properties there are no surprise "add-on" expenses.

Strategies to get the best Wilmington, NC rental experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Summer months are high season in the Wilmington, NC area. To get the most suitable vacation home within budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines have offers and deals for local accommodations and attractions.

Planning, picking, and booking the bestvacation home:

• Select a group leader, choose your vacation week, and select a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Moondance delights with designer touches in recent construction! has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the property management company before booking your rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If there's a specific Wilmington, NC attraction you long to visit, keep an eye out for homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your family is traveling with pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge additional pet fees.

Tips for a great stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• During arrival, document any issues with the property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all personal items. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on great ratings to inspire more reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
