It has not been rated by Vacation Rental By Owner yet because this is the 1st year that it is rented on the Vacation Rental By Owner platform.

Avoid the check-in / check-out chaos on Saturdays. Peak season units are from Sunday to Sunday.

You do not need to bring sheets or towels if you rent for the FULL WEEK. PARTIAL WEEK RENTALS receive linens but NOT towels. And when you get there THE BEDS ARE ALREADY MADE UP FOR YOU. The bungalow is supplied with the basic necessities such as beach chairs (at least 4), a corn hole board, some kids toys and even a spice cabinet for your convenience to utilize during your stay.

All of the kitchen appliances (except the microwave) have been replaced in March of 2024. The refrigerator even has a dual capacity ice maker.

Majestic vistas of the Atlantic Ocean! During the summer, sip on your favorite morning drink and watch the sunrise. In the winter, you could watch the sunrise and the sunset from the ocean-side deck! Of course, you could take a few steps down the boardwalk to the beach and have solitude during the sunrises and sunsets.

Keep the lights off and stargaze at nighttime. Have you ever used the "SkyVue" app on your phone?

Have a modest sailboat or catamaran? Unload/Load once near the pier and leave it between the dunes and the boardwalk during the nighttime while you stay there!

The beach is wide during low tide which provides great opportunities for shelling, walking, or running the beach. And a shower is just a few steps away to rinse off when you get back.

Being that this location is one of the less populated areas of the beach, there is minimal competition to get the ideal location on the surf to set up your "stuff" on the beach.
A great place for games on the beach. When it comes time to get off the beach for the day, all that stuff can be left inside the dunes and near the steps to the boardwalk without bringing it back to the home. Setups can't be any easier!

Do the kids want to putt-putt? Go get ice cream? Go to the pier? It's a short walk to those destinations. A golf cart is not needed.

Want to stay at home and not go out to eat? Downstairs is set up with gas and charcoal grilles and a great place to savor happy hours as meals are prepared. We also have a propane burner and a big pot for shrimp boils. It is also a great place to play games (corn hole) if it's raining.

The outside shower is roomy and private.

Giant living area, 4 bedrooms / 2 baths upstairs. 2 bedrooms / 1 bath downstairs. Sleeps, 13 people. We call one of the downstairs bedrooms the honeymoon suite - this bedroom makes it possible to get away from some of the hustle and bustle if you're there with a bigger crowd.

Decks are on the front and rear of the bungalow. The ocean side decks have gates to keep what's on the decks (kids and family pets) on the decks.

A washer and dryer are included downstairs in the storage room.

Ample parking for 7 to 8 cars.

You will receive additional correspondence from me with more info a few weeks before your scheduled arrival. I will send it to your e-mail address.

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 pets, the $100 administrative fee will be refunded to you after your stay.

Our top Wilmington, NC vacation rental home tips:

Sticking to your spending plan:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To book the best rental home for your budget, we strongly suggest booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at Wilmington, NC restaurants, tours, and activities.
• Some owners offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies frequently offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

• Choose a designated group leader, select your vacation dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration you need. NEW Listing, Dog-Friendly, No-Smoking, Ocean Front Cottage, Center of the Island has 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the property management company before you book your home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to determine what is optimal for your vacation group.
• Some properties allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental home.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
• Document any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers disrupting your peaceful home life. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on great ratings to stimulate future reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review find their best rental home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
