The two-story interior features modern and causal décor and high-end features with plenty of space for guests to spread out in comfort. Outdoor living abounds at Luna’s Sea with broad porches along the front and back of this home. The front features sunset vistas, the grazing deer in the salty marsh, and a plethora of sea birds. The back decks offer sunrise vistas of the glistening canal, boats, docks, fish, and soaring pelicans! Head up to the rooftop crows nest for 360-degree vistas of the island. Make your way down to the ground level covered patio complete with string lights, a gas grille, a enormous picnic area, your own dock with a sun deck, a private outdoor shower with dressing room and a separate storage room to home your beach chairs, bicycles, and body boards.

Tricks and tips to get the very best vacation property experience:

Sticking to your rental home budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Wilmington, NC area. To find the best value, change your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines have money saving offers on local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Choose vacation week and spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Coastal canal-front gem with multiple decks, private dock, grill, ac, & WiFi has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is generally available on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the property manager before you reserve the rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental
• Some rentals allow pets, but some do not. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

More considerations:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your peaceful home. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let crooks ruin your trip.
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to confirm you didn't leave anything behind. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on great feedback to drive new bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
