The convenient kitchen is outfitted with modern appliances and everything you'll need to prepare family recipes or the catch of the day. Thanks to the open-concept floor plan, the chef can still be part of the conversation while they work their magic. It's painless to make sure you don't get stuck with wet beach towels for the next day or the ride home, as the washer and dryer are located in the laundry closest just off the kitchen.

Down the hall, you'll find the bunk room, furnished with a queen bed and a twin-over-twin bunk bed. A Jack and Jill style bathroom with a shower connects through to a bedroom furnished with a king bed and a wall-mounted TV for personal entertainment. This room also features direct access to the unit's balcony, cheerfully decorated with metal sea life wall-sculptures and complete with string lights for a soft glow at nighttime. This covered porch is also accessible from the living room. The primary bedroom features a king size bed and its own TV as well, but this space also includes an ensuite bath featuring a shower so you can get ready in privacy.

Conveniently located in walking distance of trendy local dining options, an arcade, beach stores, ice cream stores and nightlife, not to mention the sand and surf, this fashionable condo complex also features beautiful community amenities. Take a dip in the pool to cool off, grille up some burgers and picnic at the supplied tables, and heave a sign of relief as you load your suitcases on the elevator instead of lugging it up the steps.

When you're ready to take a break from the everyday, Gone Beachin' is ready to welcome you!

This unit also accepts nightly and off-season monthly stays.

Please note that the pictured electric fireplace is not available for guest use.

Tricks and tips to get the best vacation property experience:

How to get the best value:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking a rental in the Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. 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, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Some property managers offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Many rental management companies supply Wilmington, NC area travel guide magazines which will include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select a group lead, choose your trip dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Gone Beachin' : Dog-friendly Condo Close to Beach has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually accessible online. If not, contact the host before you reserve the home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You will need to determine what is suitable for your trip.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

More considerations:

• Add the owner's phone number to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let thieves spoil your vacation.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be valuable if there is a dispute.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers disrupting your home life. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• At departure, take a walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and scan for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, remember to take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a fantastic time? Many rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
