There are three clearly visible exterior cameras located at entry points to the bungalow - front door garage, and back porch.

Our top Rental booking tips:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To book the most suitable vacation home within your budget, we suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at Wilmington, NC restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides have deals for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Make a plan and choose yourrental home:

• First, have your family commit to trip dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Updated 4 BR home in Cape Fear Station by East Beach with access to Shoals Club has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, email or call the property management company before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If there's a particular Wilmington, NC destination you are crazy about, browse properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge additional pet fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your . Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• At Check-in, note any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents lots of issues.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent source for finding the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental while you're out. Keep your property safe!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected everything. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. 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.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent feedback to drive new bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
