Welcome to Hipnautic Waves, a gorgeously remodeled end unit condo on the 2nd row from the beach just steps to the sand with calming ocean vistas, breeze and sounds. Sit on the huge covered balcony or inside and listen to the Hipnautic Waves crashing just across the street!

This bright & airy 3 Bed/2 Full Bath condo is in the only condo building located on the quieter less congested west end of Oak Island, and with just 15 condo units offers a more peaceful experience. As an end unit condo, it has added privacy along with windows on 3 of 4 sides, plus 2 sets of huge sliding glass doors for tons of natural light & ocean vistas! Since OKI is a South-facing beach, we get amazing photo worthy sunsets & sunrises, both over the water.

This entirely refreshed condo includes a new kitchen with all stainless steel appliances, Quartz countertops throughout, recessed lighting, ceiling fans & vinyl plank floor. There is complimentary on-site parking (3 Spaces) and community picnic bench. When you return from your walk across the street from the beach, wash off that salt & sand at the Outdoor Shower. Conveniently store all your beach gear in the storage closet just outside the front door.

Feel a comfortable stay in the roomy open kitchen, dining & living area. The kitchen is completely outfitted to prepare all your delicious meals including Drip Coffee Maker (single serve & pot), Hot Water Kettle, Blender, Bagel-Sized Toaster, Electric Griddle & Crock Pot. The enormous countertop with island is great for additional prep & serving space. The window in the kitchen overlooks the Intracoastal Waterway which is within walking distance! The living area, with plenty of comfortable seating, has a sizable screen TV with extended cable and HBO, plus HDMI ports for Roku/Fire TV etc. The sizable coffee table is ideal for playing games & assembling puzzles.

This striking location is convenient for the beach, walking, fishing, boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, cycling, running, birdwatching or simply relaxing. Walking distance to 2 beach access points & public fishing dock; under 2 miles away is The Point with powder soft sand, wildlife viewing & photo worthy vistas. Oak Island's groceries, shopping, 2 piers, splash pad, skateboard park, craft fairs, eateries, bars, live music & outdoor concerts with Food Trucks are under 5 miles away. We recommend Lonerider (1.4 mi) with food, drinks, game nights, cornhole, large outdoor space; and Island Way Restaurant (2.4 mi) on the pier with great ocean vistas. There is a public boat ramp & water access point at 57th Place (1.4 mi). Visit Historic Southport with eateries and shopping.

You will probably have spent a lot of your time at the condo sitting on the deck observing the tides come & go, feeling those restorative sea breezes & listening to those HipNautic Waves. Perhaps you were contemplating just how soon you can return.

How to get the best Wilmington, NC vacation rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved early. Booking your vacation rental six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Booking your vacation home in Fall or Spring is a great way to save money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines have coupons for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Planning, selecting, and booking the perfect Wilmington, NC vacation home:

• Choose your dates and spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. 2nd Row • Ocean Views • Renovated Interior • Dog-Friendly • 2-min Walk To Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible on booking pages. If not, email the property management company before booking your home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must reserve a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property managers charge additional pet fees.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Additional considerations:

• Get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent lots of concerns.
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let burglars spoil your family vacation.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are beneficial if a dispute is filed.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Re-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at departure. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards 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.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to stimulate more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, 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 expeditiously to solve it.
