The sectional is super comfortable and folds out into a queen bed if you need additional sleeping space. There is HDTV + Chromecast to stream your favorite entertainment. High-speed internet to make the streaming happen. The master bedroom includes a King bed and a bathroom with walk-in shower. Second bedroom includes a twin over full bunk bed and additional rollaway bed. Guest bathroom has a "kid-friendly" tub. All rooms have ceiling fans and shades in case you want to sleep-in.

We will provide linens and towels. We will have some beach towels but please bring your own as well just in case.

The outside spaces are pretty. There is a covered front deck where you can get out of the sun but still keep your eyes towards the beach. This comes with chairs and tables to relax. The back deck is off the kitchen area and has a bistro set to appreciate your coffee in the morning or your margaritas at sunset.

Downstairs there is a 2 car garage to store bicycles, your car, and other beach essentials you bring. ((We will provide some beach toys, umbrella, and chairs)). The garage is also where you have access to a washer and dryer. The backyard and back patio has two hammocks, a table with 6 chairs and the Caribbean "hook" game. The back patio area is also covered. The yard is a great place to let the kids run around (soccer goals in the garage) or for you to set-up the corn hole boards. We hope you adore it like we do.

Strategies to get the best rental home experience:

Getting the most from your rental home budget:

• In the Wilmington, NC area, The sooner you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Booking your rental 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Wilmington, NC area. To get the best value, consider shifting your family's Wilmington, NC vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer great weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC area magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines have deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

How to select the best rental home in the Wilmington, NC area:

• Select your vacation week and spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group requires. NEW! Beautiful marsh view + 2-min walk to beach! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the host before booking your home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or charges could be applied to your invoice.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

Know before you go:

• We recommend storing the owner's contact information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• To make sure no damages are attributed to your stay, inspect for any problem areas when you arrive. Get in touch with the property manager right away to report any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed everything at check-out. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Many rental websites make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
