The living room lets in plenty of natural light, and white-painted cathedral ceilings add to the airy feel. Sink into the comfortable couch, loveseat and recliner to stream the latest blockbuster on the enormous wall-mounted Intelligent TV. The sturdy wooden dining table will seat six or more, thanks to the flexibility of bench seating along one side of the table, and four additional seats are available at the adjacent kitchen counter.

Behind the kitchen, a short hall leads to a full bathroom with a standard tub/shower combo located between two bedrooms.

Finest of all, there is direct access to two private decks, one on the sound side and another ocean side, equipped with a variety of outdoor furnishings for both calming and dining.

There's plenty of outdoor space for the rest of the family to appreciate as well, starting with the wrap around porch, which is partially covered on both the front and rear sections and furnished with plenty of classic rocking chairs and end tables. Cook out on the included gas grille while the kids play in the fenced backyard. There's also an enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water, which makes rinsing sand off a breeze. Convenient to both the ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, you can walk south to the public beach access at The Point or north to savor a meal at trendy waterfront eatery Lonerider's. You can even save some space when packing for your trip, as this home provides beach chairs, an umbrella and beach toys for your use.

Tips and Tricks for getting the best vacation rental experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a rental home:

• Book your vacation home in Spring or Fall to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• The earlier you can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your rental property six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies often offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental property 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 coupons for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Choosing the perfect vacation rental in the Wilmington, NC area:

• Choose dates and spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Daze Off: Spacious Home in Walking Distance to Beach and Waterway has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property management company before booking your rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to work out what is optimal for your vacation group.
• If there's a certain Wilmington, NC beach you simply love, keep an eye out for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners charge additional pet fees.

Tips to have a terrific stay:

• Get the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• Record any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are helpful if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your peace and quiet. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all of your things. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean 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.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on good feedback to compel future reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
