This handsome, cozy beach bungalow is located two mins. from Middleton Drive, which has simple beach access in both directions. There is also a walkover at SE 9th Street worth exploring. Packed full of character, this beach bungalow feels like a home away from home as it sits tucked away amongst the trees.

The living room is furnished with a adore chair and two recliners. This area also has a wooden China cabinet, which may transport some guests back to grandmother’s home. The flat screen TV rests on the matching wooden TV stand in the living room, where your family and friends can gather for leisure and fun. Along the vaulted ceiling hangs a ceiling fan to offer a cool breeze on hot, summer days.

To the left of the living room is the hallway, where you'll find the laundry closet on the right. The first guest bedroom has a queen-sized bed, comfortable for calming after a long day at the beach or strolling around the island. This room is ideal for reading a book or just to get away from it all.

The second guest bedroom is located down this same hallway to the left. This room has two twin-sized beds. This room has a vintage yet inviting feeling that welcomes you as soon as you walk in. This is the ideal area to wind down and listen to the natural world outside.

Across from the hallway of the second guest bedroom is a gorgeously decorated full bathroom with a shower.

The dining area sits adjacent to the living room, with seating for seven. Feast on your favorite island dish all while planning your next adventure on the island.

The kitchen is beside the dining area. Equipped with a stainless-steel refrigerator, stove, dishwasher and microwave, this traditional kitchen is made for a family gathering. With its granite countertops and light wooden cabinetry, this area suits guests well.

Aside from the dining area is the master bedroom with a king-sized bed. This primary bedroom has a flat-screen TV that sits on a T.V. stand to watch your favorite shows. Inside the bedroom is the master bathroom that has a shower. This section of the home seeks seclusion and calmness.

The fenced backyard makes this handsome home one of a kind. Charming trees surround you as you savor your family and friends on the outside patio. Gather around the firepit on the patio, which seats eight, or grille your favorite meal. Use the outdoor shower to rinse off after a hot day at the beach. There is also outside storage for any beach toys or additional vacation essentials you may need stored away.

Booking the best Wilmington, NC vacation property experience:

Getting the best value:

• The earlier your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved very early. Reserving your rental six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Summer months are high season in the Wilmington, NC area. To get the best value, consider changing your family's Wilmington, NC vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic.
• Some hosts offer rate reductions for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers typically offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines contain offers and deals for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Make a plan and choose the perfectrental home:

• Select your dates and spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Ruff Life: Bungalow with Easy Beach Access has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the property management company before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a particular Wilmington, NC beach you simply love, look for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.

During your stay:

• We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many issues.
• Lock your rental while you are out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your stay, record any problem areas upon check in. Make contact with the host immediately to record any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers disrupting your peace. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Re-check the property to make sure that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a excellent stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
