Are you ready for a new day, A New Tide? Then it’s time to seize the moment and take that beach vacation you’ve been dreaming about! Look no further than this coastal cool oceanfront home on Oak Island’s west end that features a private, seasonal swimming pool. Awash in natural light and decorated with the colors of the sand and the sea, your group will really find a home away from home here. That home can also welcome up to two dogs per reservation, so pack up the whole crew for adventures by the sea.

Upon entering the home from the central staircase, follow the hallway to the right before taking a fast left. There’s a sense of anticipation as you turn out of the hallway where beauty awaits you. South-facing windows frame awe-inspiring vistas of the Atlantic Ocean. The open concept living area echoes the beauty just outside the door.

In the southeast corner of this space sits the living area. Light streams in from windows that punctuate the vaulted ceiling and falls on a sizable sectional couch and two side chairs laid out to encourage conversation. A TV sits against the east wall, next to a modest round table with chairs that offers an ideal location for card games, puzzles and more. Against the neutral backdrop of the walls and furnishings, guests will find tonal blues throughout the decorative pillows and vases. Warm wood accents and other thoughtfully selected décor create and aura of welcoming relaxation.

In the southwestern corner of the open living area lies the dining table, which has seating for six and spectacular ocean vistas around every corner. Four Parisian blue and white bistro stools at the kitchen counter expand the available seating.

From the same kitchen counter, guests can prep memorable family meals or even share clean-up duties for the day without losing sight of the glistening waves. Besides this great prep space, the kitchen features white shaker-style cabinets, an ocean blue subway tile backsplash, quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances.

After long, joy-filled days on the beach, A New Tide’s four bedrooms offer guests comfortable spaces to rest their heads. The first bedroom is located on the first floor, in the northwest corner of the home. This bedroom is furnished with a queen bed draped in a white textured quilt that is accented by a blue throw with a shell motif. Two side tables flank the bed and a dresser and chair round out the room. This bedroom shares a hall bathroom with the second bedroom located on this level. The second bedroom is a great space for the teens or kids in your group as it’s outfitted with one double bed and a twin-over-twin bunk bed. There is also a dresser and shark and mermaid décor to add to the fun of this room.

As you head upstairs, look up to take in the delicate shell chandelier bathed in natural light from the enormous windows in this space. The remaining two bedrooms are located on the second floor. The third bedroom is a huge master suite in the southwestern corner of this level decorated in contrasting black and white. This space features a king bed, sliding glass doors with expansive vistas, a dresser and even a dedicated work space with a T.V.. The ensuite bath feature his-and-her sinks.

The fourth and final bedroom is located in the northeastern corner of the second floor and is a boho-inspired dream filled with calming neutrals and palm branch décor. This room is furnished with two doubles, a bedside table, an armoire with constructed-in mirror and a blue upholstered rattan chair. Peek outside the window for vistas of the Intracoastal Waterway across the street.

Enormous families will also savor the loft located on the second floor. This area overlooks the living room and features a couch, TV and game table. Don’t let the fun stop here though. A New Tide also offers fun outdoor games like ladder ball and corn hole. With all this vacation home has to offer, are you ready to experience the fun for yourself? Then don’t resist the pull of the tides. Whether you’re looking to book a summer week, a nightly stay of three nights or more in the off season or an off-season monthly rental, A New Tide is ready to welcome you to Oak Island!

Our top Vacation rental tips:

Sticking to your rental budget:

• Summer time is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. To find the best value, try changing your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warm temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area travel guide magazines that include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to select the perfect vacation home in Oak Island:

• Select vacation week and spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. A New Tide: Stylish, Dog-friendly Coastal Home with Pool has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is normally available online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property management company before booking the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out what is best for your trip.
• Does your family require unique amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly property. Request details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, hosts charge additional pet fees.

During your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your family's stay, inspect the property for any problem areas during check in. Contact the host right away to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a terrific resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all belongings. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on good ratings to stimulate more bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
