Welcome to the Twin Tides II getaway. One of two of our unique side-by-side properties on the ICWW with a private pier and dock- with a slip available to our avid boaters. 180 vistas of the ICWW and Atlantic Ocean can be seen from double decker porches. Minutes away from Carolina Beach, the NC Fort Fisher Aquarium, the NC Battleship, golf courses or downtown Wilmington. This home spared no expense to really make it a getaway to visit time and time again. You will appreciate this peninsula property that sits on the edge of your own private heaven.

Vistas of pristine non-developed Masonboro Island can be seen from nearly every room of the home and the striking wrap around porch. Appreciate your own private beach by kayak and make a day out of visiting Masonboro Island. Savor the pier and dock to play, swim, fish, or just relax if water sports aren’t your thing. Pier is shared with neighboring sister property.

Home features a master upstairs and downstairs. It also features a laundry room upstairs and downstairs making life easier while on vacation. While you have vistas of the intracoastal waterway from the front of the home, savor back yard vistas of the marsh and all she has to offer. This property is on the very end of a peninsula which accepts these rare vistas. Few properties can have the both of best worlds- and we’re one of them!

There is also a sandbar that appears at low-tide that kids appreciate. This is great for kids to catch a hermit crab or go clamming and experience some of the coastal lifestyle.

We have board games and toys and even a pack-n-play to try to accommodate all families.

Book our sister home, Twin Tides I, next door for a family reunion where you can expect the same great vistas and accommodations.

House has newly gotten more updating and some newer furnishings has been added, but you can expect the same great quality. You will adore this peninsula paradise!!!!

Strategies for getting the best Wilmington, NC vacation property experience:

When to go & When to reserve a rental home:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Wilmington, NC area. To get the largest vacation home for your budget, we highly recommend booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at Wilmington, NC restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked very early. Booking your rental home up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Some property management companies offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel 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 check-in. 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 local articles, visitors guides contain coupons for nearby tours and attractions.

How to pick the perfect rental home in the Wilmington, NC area:

• Start by choosing your trip dates and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Twin Tides II has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible online. Otherwise, email or call the property management company before you reserve your rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property manager about pets before booking.

Tips to have a smooth stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your smartphone.
• To make certain that no damages are linked to your stay, inspect for any problem areas when you arrive. Make contact with the rental manager right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few issues.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a great source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let thieves ruin your trip.
• At departure, complete a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a excellent time? Many rental websites make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
