As an end unit condo, it has added privacy along with windows on 3 of 4 sides, plus 2 sets of sizable sliding glass doors for tons of natural light & ocean vistas!

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.

The kitchen is completely supplied 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 huge 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 enormous screen TV with extended cable and HBO, plus HDMI ports for Roku/Fire TV etc. The huge coffee table is ideal for playing games & assembling puzzles.

This superb 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.

Wilmington, NC rental home tips and tricks:

When to book & When to go:

• The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are booked early. Reserving your rental property up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Wilmington, NC area. To get the best vacation home within your budget, we suggest booking in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful 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 a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC area magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitors guide magazines contain money saving offers on local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Selecting and booking the right Wilmington, NC rental home:

• First and foremost, have your family decide on the best dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group requires. 2nd Row • Ocean Views • Newly Remodeled • Dog-Friendly • 2-min Walk To Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible online. If they are not listed, contact the property manager before booking your home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine what is best for your vacation family.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or applied to your contract.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental

More tips for your visit:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
• Upon arrival, record any damages to the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a great source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. 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 every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on good feedback to inspire new reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
