Let the Beachside Breeze caress your face as you sip your morning coffee on the private balcony at this handsome, modern condo. Located in the Palms at Long Bay condo complex, you’ll find one of the most private stretches of East Beach only a two-min. walk away while also appreciating simple walkability to shopping, dining, grocery stores, ice cream stores and more. No need to leave Fido behind as this rental accepts up to two dogs per reservation.

The cavernous open-concept living area is designed with flexibility in mind. Appreciate a favorite show or movie on the sizable flat screen TV from the huge couch. A set of four ottomans provide storage and can act as additional seating or a handy surface for playing one of the included board games- or hand of Texas Hold Em utilizing the available cards and poker chips.

For those who may still have work or school responsibilities during their stay, a desk tucked into the corner provides a convenient work-space. The sturdy dining table is arranged for four, with room to pull up two more chairs and an additional four seats at the adjacent breakfast bar. A card table and four folding chairs are also supplied if more seating is needed.

The kitchen features gleaming wood cabinets and quartz countertops. The glass-top stove makes for painless clean-up after cooking, and this space is entirely supplied with everything you need to prepare favorite family meals or the catch of the day. Just across from the kitchen is the laundry closet, equipped with a full-sized washer and dryer conveniently located in the center of the action to help ensure you don’t forget to turn that load of wet beach towels over before heading to bed.

Each of the three bedrooms is equipped with its own flat screen TV, so you’ll never have to argue about what to watch before bed at the end of a long day filled with adventure! The primary bedroom is located just off the living room and provides a king bed as well as a standard futon for calming or additional sleeping space as needed. In addition to a private bathroom with a standard tub/shower combo, this suite features direct access to the unit’s balcony overlooking the pool.

The additional two bedrooms share access to a hall bath beside the laundry closet. This bathroom also features a standard tub/shower combo along with a handheld shower head, an nearly essential tool for rinsing all the sand off of little ones after a day on the beach! Down the hall from the shared bath, you’ll find each bedroom equipped with a twin bed and a queen bed. One room features a bean bag chair that every kid and kid-at-heart will adore to flop down onto!

Your private covered balcony overlooks the condo complex’s pool deck below. Complete with outdoor seating, this space is close enough to the ocean that you can hear the crash of the surf and smell the salt in the air. You’ll notice there’s no shortage of the Beachside Breeze this condo is named for! In addition to the seasonal pool and soaking tubs, community amenities include an outdoor shower station and elevators.

When you’re ready to hit the sand, use the included beach cart to haul your gear with ease. Beach chairs and toys are also supplied for your convenience. A short walk along SE 59th Street at the back of the complex provides a fast and easy path to the beach. Because this public access point does not have any parking spaces, it is relatively secluded. To the east, you’ll find one of the most private sections of East Beach thanks to a numerous block stretch of undeveloped scrubland along the dune-line and public access points with limited parking spaces.

In the evenings, walk to eateries like local favorite Thai and Vine, beach stores, an arcade, candy store, ice cream stores and more. And if you'd rather craft the ideal appetizers and drink to appreciate on the beach yourself, Food Lion and the ABC Store are each less than a half mile away. This beautiful location really does provide the best of both worlds!

Ensure that your next family vacation is a Beachside Breeze and book your stay today!

Tips and Tricks to get the very best rental home experience:

Getting the best rental value:

• Summertime is high season in Oak Island. Booking in the Fall or Spring is a good way to save money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your rental six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines have discounts for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

• Lock your rental while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on great ratings to stimulate more bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will will be grateful for your feedback find their best vacation rental. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
