Welcome to Hipnautic Waves, a elegantly refreshed 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 sizable 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 calming 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 fantastic photo worthy sunsets & sunrises, both over the water.

This completely 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 entirely 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 sizable 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 handsome 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 Oak Island vacation property experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season in Oak Island. Booking a rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our favorite way to save money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes.
• Some owners offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies frequently offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area travel guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Narrow your Search:

• Start by choosing the best vacation week and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family requires. 2nd Row • Ocean Views • Newly Remodeled • Dog-Friendly • 2-min Walk To Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property owner before you book the home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out what bed configuration is suitable for your trip.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property manager about pets before booking.
• If there's a certain Wilmington, NC beach you crave, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More tips for your visit:

• Get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let burglars ruin your trip.
• At Check-in, document any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a great source for finding the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Re-check the property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a excellent stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
