The nature trail starts out going over a bridge "Little Davies canal", through the woods then a boardwalk over the marsh, you will come to a street and should be able to see the ocean at that point, the walk takes about 15 - 20 mins..
You can shorten the walk by parking at the recreation center and walking from there, it cuts the walk time by half.
Take a fishing rod and fish off the boardwalk on your way back from the beach for a fresh dinner.
If you have tons to carry then it's a 2 min. drive to the many access points you can park ,some are just yards from the beach next to the homes on the beach.

After a long day at the beach appreciate the shade of the elegant oak trees surrounding the home and untouched wooded tons next door. Sit in the screened in deck and watch the modest wild life frolic in the yard. In the evening sit at the fire pit next to the home.
Take a charming evening walk to the beach down our street and through the nature trail. Find your inner kid and discover the tree home or bring a fishing poll and fish off the boardwalk.Then continue your walk down to the beach.

Our top Vacation rental tips and tricks:

Money saving strategies:

• Summertime is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Book your vacation home in Fall or Spring to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are reserved very early. Booking your rental 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitors guides that include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to choose the perfect rental home:

• Start by choosing your trip dates and a budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family requires. Clean ~ beautiful setting ~ scenic walk or ride your bikes to the beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC rental home search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is normally accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the property owner before booking the home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• If there's a particular Wilmington, NC destination you are crazy about, search for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental
• Some rentals allow pets, but some don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property management company about pets before booking.

Have a great stay:

• Put the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Note any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if damages are assessed.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let burglars spoil your trip.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a terrific vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
