About this Property

• Sleeps 10
• 4 Bedrooms
• 3 Bathrooms
• Private vacation home

Welcome to the OCEAN VIBES 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 adore 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 handsome wrap around porch. Savor your own private beach by kayak and make a day out of visiting Masonboro Island. Appreciate 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, appreciate 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 appreciate this peninsula paradise!!!!

Booking the best Wilmington, NC vacation property experience:

Finding your best deal:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Booking in the Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter 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.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides have offers and deals for local shops and restaurants.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Choose dates and maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. OCEAN VIBES ON THE INTRACOASTAL has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the host before you book your home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to work out what is suitable for your vacation group.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the owner about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Some things to know before you go:

• Add the property manager's contact information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are away, just like you would at home.
• At Check-in, note any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors bothering your peace. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Upon check-out, take a walk-through to make sure you have not leave anything behind. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and keep an eye out 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 pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a terrific vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
