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 huge 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 sizable 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.

Giant 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!

Rental home tips:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved early. Booking your rental up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To get the best value, try shifting your family's Wilmington, NC trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer pleasant temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines contain deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to pick the best vacation home:

• Choose a group leader, select your dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. A New Tide: Stylish, Dog-friendly Coastal Home with Pool has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available on booking pages. Otherwise, email the host before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine what configuration is best for your vacation.
• Some properties allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of pet, size 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 long to visit, look for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental

More considerations for your visit:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your phone.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let crooks ruin your trip.
• During check-in, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be respectful. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Re-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a excellent time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
