RENOVATED IN MARCH 2024

Dog friendly. Majestic vistas of the Intracoastal Waterway! Swims in the canal, kayaking, fishing from the boat dock! The location provides painless access for ocean-bound or waterway fishing trips including day trips to island beaches close by. The beach is a short 10-min. walk. A enormous beach cart is supplied with room for a cooler and beach chairs. There are also 4 beach chairs and a corn hole board available for your use.

When you arrive...
- The prevalent "change-over" day occurred the day before. It is much easier (traffic) to get here.
- Linens are supplied. Not only are the linens included, but the BEDS ARE MADE TOO! If RENTED FOR THE ENTIRE WEEK, towels will also be included.
- You discover that all of the basic supplies you will need for your stay are outfitted and waiting. Even the spice cabinet is loaded up for your use. Maybe you do not need to go to the store after arrival.
- You have 2 fridges. The downstairs refrigerator is turned down for cold drink storage and has an ice maker. The upstairs refrigerator also has an ice maker and is the place for food storage.
- Since you are arriving on Sunday, not the prevalent "change-over" day, the landing shouldn't be as busy when you go to put your boat in the water. I also suggest loading the boat back on the trailer 11 am and 2 PM on Saturday to avoid the peak time the landing is used.

The front and back decks have been refreshed with cabled railings. There are gathering places on both decks but mainly on the back deck. The back deck has been redesigned to provide more usable space. on the back deck, there is a patio table with seating for 8 people. There is also a picnic table that provides ample seating for 6 people. And there are rockers for people like me who just savor sitting out and watching the boat traffic on the canal and intra-coastal waterway.

The kitchen has been completely remodeled with new cabinets and countertops. More storage space was added.

The vanities in both bathrooms have been updated.

The old windows have been replaced with "peaceful" and hurricane-rated windows.

Extensive living area, 4 bedrooms / 2 baths upstairs / 2 bedrooms / 1 bath downstairs. Sleeps, 13 people. Decks on the front and the canal side of the home upstairs. It also includes a patio and outdoor shower downstairs.

A floating dock at the end of the walkway provides convenient docking space, flounder fishing, or a platform for swims in the canal.

A washer, dryer, AND an additional refrigerator/freezer with an ice maker are supplied downstairs in the storage room.

There is no need to go anywhere else (by land) after arrival. The patio downstairs includes all of the cooking tools needed (grilles, 2-eye gas burner, etc.) to prepare your own feasts.

Ample parking for 6 cars.

NOTE: There is a $100 Administrative Fee (per booking) added to the price for renting our bungalow. If you report to the owner (by e-mail, text, or phone call) that you DID NOT bring family pets, the $100 administrative fee will be refunded to you after your stay.

Tips to get the optimal rental experience:

When to reserve a Wilmington, NC rental & When to go:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Wilmington, NC area. To find the most suitable rental for your budget, we suggest booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at Wilmington, NC restaurants, beaches, and activities. 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? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides contain discounts for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Planning, picking, and booking the bestvacation home:

• Start by choosing potential vacation weeks and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Dog Friendly! Non-Smoking. Cottage w\/Dock and Deep Water Access on Natural Canal has 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before you book the vacation property. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to work out what configuration is right for your vacation.
• Is your family looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before booking
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or costs applied to your agreement.

Some things to know before you go:

• Get the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone.
• Record any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if damages are assessed.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers disrupting your home life. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors 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?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let burglars ruin your trip.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal items. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from 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 feedback! Hosts rely on good feedback to inspire more reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your feedback find their best vacation home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
