Vistas, Vistas, Vistas! This handsome 6-bedroom home is located just across the street from the ocean with simple beach access just steps away (a 60-second walk or 500 paces). This gorgeous reverse floor plan captures the beauty of the marsh and partial ocean vistas by elevating the open concept kitchen/dining/living areas to the upper level. A two-sided wrap-around covered deck provides an charming space to savor the vistas while appreciating your morning coffee or an evening beverage. Sunset shows take place daily (weather permitting) from the 3rd-floor terrace as the sun gently disappears over the west-facing marsh. Words can't describe the spectacular colors that fill the upper level through its many windows as the sunset show takes place each evening. Great location only 1/2 mile west of the pier makes walking/cycling for ice cream or snacks a real treat.

The kitchen is well outfitted with all the amenities needed for cooking sizable family dinners. The dining table can seat up to 10 people plus an additional 3 seats at the kitchen island close by. There is also a great outdoor dining table, ideal for enjoying the ocean vistas on a striking day. There are many marvelous seating options along the 2 story-covered decks to take in the impressive vistas, especially the daily sunset show (weather permitting).

Don't worry about overpacking as many beach amenities are supplied including Tommy Bahama backpack beach chairs (4), a beach umbrella, cooler, kids' beach toys, beach carts, and 2 beach cruiser bicycles.

Featuring two master bedrooms (each with its own bathroom), this home is ideal for two families looking to book together to appreciate a incredible vacation at the beach. In addition, there is a modest bedroom with a queen bed as well as a bunk room complete with 2 bespoke constructed-in bunk beds, the ideal space for the kids to call their own. The 5th bedroom is located on the top level and is a sunroom that has been redesigned as an additional sleeping area, ideal for a single looking for their own space and very well may have the best vistas in the entire home. We also just finished a ground-level room into a 6th bedroom complete with a Queen Bed, 1/2 bath, mini-refrigerator, microwave, and Keurig coffee maker. (Please note, this room's entrance is in the carport area and outside the entrance of the main home).


Recently purchased in March of 2022, we finished a full remodel and bespoke interior design plan that will be sure to impress. The remodel includes all new furnishings throughout the home including new beds, beds, and linens in every sleeping space. Our goal was to create a bespoke unique welcoming space for bigger groups to enjoy, while carving out unique spaces and sitting areas for smaller conversations and alone time.

Tips for getting the best vacation rental experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a Wilmington, NC rental home:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Booking your vacation home in Fall or Spring is a good way to save money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the 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.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
• Booking websites typically offer customers 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 days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines have coupons for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to work out what bed configuration is optimal for your vacation family.
• If there's an individual Wilmington, NC destination you simply love, browse homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your family is traveling with pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
