Twin Tides Intracoastal waterway cottage w\/views of the ocean private dock &more - Vacation rental home in Wilmington, NC

About this Property

• Sleeps 10
• 4 Bedrooms
• 3 Bathrooms
• Private vacation home

Welcome to the Twin Tides getaway. One of two of our unique side-by-side properties on the ICWW with a private pier and dock- with a slip available to our avid boaters (upon request and review assuming un-rented and for an additional fee). This is not a duplex, this listing is for the entire home- we just happen to own the home next door also!

Looking for a family reunion? Book our Twin Tides Blue private home also. Vistas of the Atlantic Ocean can be seen from our newly refreshed property. Minutes away from Carolina Beach, the NC Fort Fisher Aquarium, the NC Battleship, golf courses or downtown Wilmington. This home spared no expense to really make it a getaway to visit time and time again. You will appreciate this coastal bungalow that looks like it came out of a novel.

Vistas of pristine non-developed Masonboro Island can be seen from the King and Queens private balcony or the semi wrap around porch. Savor your own private beach by kayak and make a day out of visiting Masonboro Island. Appreciate the pier and dock to play, paddle board, swim, fish, or just relax if water sports aren’t your thing. We offer kayaks and paddle boards to make life a little easier.

A chefs dream kitchen featuring all sub-zero and wolf appliances, granite and wood floor throughout the home, and a true view from every room- including from the brand new air tub in the King and Queens bathroom. While you have vistas of the intracoastal waterway from the front of the home, savor back yard vistas of the marsh and all she has to offer. This property is on a peninsula which accepts these rare vistas. Few properties can have the both of best worlds- and we’re one of them!

Generous yard for your fur friends to get some exercise or go for a swim and a playground for your little ones. There is also a sandbar that appears at low-tide that kids (and our dog kids) appreciate. This is great for kids to catch a hermit crab or go clamming and experience some of the coastal lifestyle.

Outdoor bathroom and shower to comfortably wash off!

4 separate bedroom home:
Room 1: King Bed
Room 2: King Bed
Room 3: Queen Bed
Room 4: Two Twin Beds

The two rooms suited for kids share a sizable Jack and Jill style tower-room: featuring, games, toys, and more to keep your little ones busy while getting a birds-eye view.

Book our sister home, Twin Tides II, next door for a family reunion where you can expect the same great vistas and similar accommodations.

House has freshly gotten more updating and newer furnishings since these photos were taken, we can't wait for you to see our getaway!

Tips to get the best Wilmington, NC vacation home experience:

How to get the best value:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Booking a rental in the Fall or Spring is a great way to save on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Some owners offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family.
• Booking websites often offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide 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 information, travel guide magazines contain offers and deals for local shops and restaurants.

• Walk through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a terrific time? Many rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
