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. Appreciate your own private beach by kayak and make a day out of visiting Masonboro Island. Savor 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!

Extensive 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 conveniently 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 and Tricks to get the optimal Wilmington, NC vacation home experience:

How to get the best value:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in Wilmington. To get the most suitable rental within budget, we recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines have deals for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

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

• Begin by selecting your a vacation week and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your family requires. Twin Tides Intracoastal waterway cottage w\/views of the ocean private dock &more has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC rentals search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property manager before reserving the home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your family is bringing pets, you will need a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Wilmington, NC destination you are enamored with, keep an eye out for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental

Tips for your stay:

• Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental while you're out. Protect your property!
• Record any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be beneficial if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a fantastic resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
