Only 200 steps down your private boardwalk, the warm sands of Bald Head Island's South Beach await when you stay at Dune Eden, an executive oceanfront getaway providing five bedrooms/5.5 baths and spectacular seascapes inside and out.

The main home and crofter are cloistered around an entrance courtyard. The main home's first level homes the garages and egress to the beach access. Up the stairs, the next level proffers a deep, covered TREX wraparound porch, bayed on the oceanside and furnished with a dining set as well as seating for conversation or serene contemplation of the unobstructed Atlantic vistas.

From here, you can take the spiral staircase to the upper sundeck or enter inside. Within, this floor reveals crafted, bespoke details around every corner-from the gorgeous Cypress wainscoting to the plank floor and original art. The three bedrooms on this level start with a roomy twin which utilizes the convenient hall full bath. The first cavernous King suite renders beautiful water tableaus, direct porch access and includes a comfortable private sitting area as well as a spa-like bath with a sunken jetted tub, separate tile shower, water closet and his/her vanities. The second King suite also delights with its own en suite. A centrally-located family room completes this floor and tenders a wet bar, loads of constructed-ins, a decorative fireplace and porch access.

The home's top level's open floor plan is accentuated by soaring shiplapped ceilings, walls of windows showcasing dazzling Atlantic panoramas and loads of warm sunlight. The roomy, cozy living area is anchored by another decorative sizable fireplace with a massive Pecky Cypress distressed wood mantel. The hub of the indoor dining space, located in an oversize bay that provides shimmering vistas from every angle, is a bespoke compass table seating eight under a beautiful shell chandelier. Dine here or al fresco, through the door to the sun deck, where yet another dining set and conversation area offer Atlantic breezes as well as seascapes. Back inside, beyond the dining area, a mammoth quartz island provides breakfast bar seating at each end, a professional Viking gas prepare top in the middle and plenty of prep space in-between. From the wet bar and wine cooler to the professional Viking stainless appliances-this kitchen is a gourmet's delight!

The upper oceanfront King Owner's suite on this level affords a refuge with its private sitting area, porch access and opulent spa-like ensuite. The home's crofter provides another separate sanctuary in the form of a Queen suite with not only a full bath but also a wet bar and mini refrigerator.The property includes use of two golf carts and WWP's 24/7 Property Manager Assistance Line-which means you can reach needed help even after hours or on weekends.

Tricks and tips to get the best vacation home experience:

Sticking to your spending plan:

• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Reserving your rental six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Wilmington, NC area. To get the best value, shift your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warmer temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC area magazine upon checking 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, visitor guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Make a plan and choose your prefect Wilmington, NC vacation home:

• First, have your family commit to the best dates and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Dune Eden-Executive oceanfront retreat steps from the sand! has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the property management company before you reserve your rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Wilmington, NC destination you crave, browse properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

During your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your phone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent lots of issues.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• To make certain damages are not linked to your visit, inspect the property for any problem areas upon your arrival. Make contact with the rental manager immediately to document any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected everything. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. 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.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on great feedback to inspire more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. 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.
