Revel in the ideal combination of togetherness and private space at this appealing duplex, ideal for two modest families visiting together. A rare find on Oak Island, this ocean view home has identical floor plans on both levels connected by an exterior staircase. Guests can even bring fido along for a true family vacation. With painless beach access just a few homes over, this hidden gem is just waiting to be discovered.

Each level of this home features an open concept living space accepting for cavernous bungalow living. Both living rooms are brightly lit with striking beach décor and comfortable seating, each furnished with one of the two double-sized sleepers couches along with a flatscreen TV for family movie nights. If game nighttime is more your speed, a sizable coffee table stands ready with more than enough space for you to monopolize.

In each kitchen area you’ll find granite granite counter tops and stainless-steel appliances, a modern space designed for cooking modest family meals and appreciating peaceful moments. Barstool seating for four is supplied to gather around the center island at the end of an eventful day to savor drinks, snacks and conversation.

Right off the eat-in area on each level you’ll find a full bathroom, which includes a full-sized tub/shower combo. Closest to the bathroom there is a guest bedroom with a double sized bed. A TV is supplied in each of these bedrooms, so the kiddos can still drift off to their favorite movie while the game is on in the living room. This room also includes the washer and dryer inside of the utility closet.

As the final interior space, the front bedroom of each floor provides a calming respite, where you can drift off to sleep to the sounds of waves crashing just across the road. These clean and simply decorated sleeping quarters with a subtle nautical theme feature an inviting king-sized bed and their own flat screen TV for leisure time.

Outside, you’ll find a modest patio space on the ground floor with three Adirondack chairs and a table that begs to be adored in the morning sunshine with a cup of coffee. You’ll also find an enclosed outdoor shower, a lifesaver on a beach trip involving modest kids or dogs. The gravel parking pad in front of the home provides plenty of space to park at least four cars.

Tricks and tips to get the best Oak Island vacation home experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To get the best value, try changing your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer excellent weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• The sooner you can book, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved very early. Reserving your rental property up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Property management companies sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guide magazines contain offers and deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Planning and choosing the perfect Wilmington, NC rental:

• Select your vacation week and spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Coastal Cottage Whole House: Unique Floor Plan Provides Privacy For Two Groups T has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is normally accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, call the host before you book the rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Are you visiting for a single event? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the owner about your furry family members before booking.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Add the owner's information to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To make certain damages aren't linked to your family's visit, make note of any problem areas during check in. Call the property manager right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your life at home. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let crooks spoil your holiday.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on great reviews to propel future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best rental home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
