Looking for gasp-worthy panoramas of the shimmering Atlantic on BHI’s High Dunes? This reverse-plan, four-bedroom, 4.5 bath Dudley Parker constructed home is perched up on a wooded, winding drive-emerging above treetops to reveal spectacular seascapes. The home is conveniently located near the center of the Island and close to the Market, island shopping, dining and all clubs and amenities. And most importantly, direct beach access to South Beach is only a 2-min. walk.

This home's first level offers private front and side porches and, inside, its entry warmly welcomes you to beach living. The first floor offers three, freshly painted and refreshed suites-each include new wood floors, their own private full-bath with granite counters and tiled showers. The first two suites-a King and a Queen-are light-filled rooms with generous closets and storage. The third bedroom is furnished with two twin beds and offers direct access to the front porch.

Upstairs, a vaulted-ceiling open floor plan makes the most of its walls of windows by highlighting ocean panoramas extending from Frying Pan Shoals all the way down South Beach. The bright living space extends to a sizable, covered wraparound sitting porch to savor the big ocean vistas, an afternoon gathering or an outdoor lunch or dinner. You’ll spend contented hours with family and friends while relishing shimmering seascapes and savoring drinks and snacks as well as salty breezes. The gourmet kitchen, equipped with a window-surrounded dining table for 8, is equipped with modern stainless appliances, gas stove, coffee bar and generous counter space with both ocean and forested dune vistas. Nearby, a granite breakfast bar offers even more seating. The upstairs Primary suite has a king bed and features breath taking vistas of the ocean and horizon where you will awake to extraordinary sunlit vistas. It includes its own access to the sitting porch, a private office and an oversize ensuite bath with double vanity, a water closet, and a enormous glass enclosed shower. Conveniently located near the Island's center-close to both the beach and stores and providing access to WWP's 24/7 Property Manager Assistance Line-which means you can reach needed help even after hours or on weekends, this gem is an ideal BHI haven.

Tips and Tricks to get the best Wilmington, NC vacation property experience:

Get the most from your rental home budget:

• Summer is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. To find the best value, try changing your vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer great weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies frequently offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs between 1% - 5% of the stay 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 evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines have deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to choose the perfect rental in the Wilmington, NC area:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your vacation dates, and select a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Captain Tank's is a Grand 4BR\/4.5BA Dunes Ridge Getaway with Ocean Views! has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible on booking pages. If not, reach out to the property owner before you reserve your rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's an individual Wilmington, NC beach you simply love, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the host about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Additional considerations:

• Add the host's contact info to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• During arrival, note any issues with the property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many problems.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let thieves ruin your family vacation.
• Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on great reviews to stimulate more bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your experience find their best vacation home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
