With a split floor plan featuring two bedrooms and a shared hall bath on either side of the open concept living area, this is an ideal beach home for two families to share and appreciate together.

The modernized kitchen includes multiple new major kitchen appliances, Quartz countertops and backsplash and freshly painted cabinets with plenty of storage for your items. The rest of the home has also been freshly refreshed throughout with new floor, washer/dryer, couches and comforters.

The inviting features continue outside, where you’ll find an broad covered back porch with plenty of seating (including lounge chairs and a rocker), a gate to help keep little ones corralled and a view that includes glimpses of the water.

The driveway provides ample parking for your entire group.

A short walk of fewer than 900 feet takes you from the driveway to the sand where you’ll lay your blanket, and a huge outdoor cooler with wheels is included and stored in an outdoor closet to help get your things to the beach. A roomy enclosed outside shower with hot and cold water as well as a changing area make cleaning up after returning from the beach a breeze.

As an added additional, the breathtaking walkway over the Davis Canal at 29th St is even closer than the beach and provides a excellent opportunity to view the island’s wildlife, including foxes, herons and other shorebirds, deer and more.

Oak Island rental home tips:

Sticking to your rental budget:

• To get the best value, try changing your family's Wilmington, NC vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer great weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable 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? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• In the Wilmington, NC area, The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Booking your vacation rental six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Some property management companies offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines contain discounts for nearby shops and restaurants.

• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a wonderful stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
