Welcome to the Ibis Cottage, a comfortable home located in the heart of Oak Island. Located on the beach side, you can have your toes in the sand within a 3-min. walk, or take a walk over to 49th Street Restaurant for dinner and drinks. Located blocks away from Publix Grocery and Middleton Park, you are close to all the action but not too close. Take full advantage of the calming and cavernous covered front porch to appreciate the elegant outdoors or discover the island on one of four beach cruisers.

Freshly constructed and furnished in 2021, the Ibis Cottage features coastal décor with wood accents and neutral tones. With a handsome open concept, the main floor offers an abundance of natural light with vaulted ceilings. The entirely equipped kitchen is completely open to the dining room, which accommodates up to six adults for a seated meal together. Prefer to dine outdoors? Set the outside dining table for dinner instead, conveniently located just off the kitchen under the screened back porch. In the kitchen, you will be pleasantly greeted with all stainless steel appliances and plenty of counter space. The living room is roomy and comfortably furnished for hanging out with family and friends. The focal point of this space is the 65” Samsung flat-screen TV. A guest bath can be found between the living room and guest bedrooms.

All three bedrooms are on the main floor of this home; the master suite with king bed, 50” Samsung flat screen and private bath, a guest bedroom with two twin beds (one with trundle) and 40" flat screen TV, and an additional guest bedroom with queen bed and 40” flat screen TV. Unwind and take in the serene setting of live oak treetops and blue sky from the interior living and outdoor decks. The Master bedroom has shared access to the back deck through sliding glass doors.

With so much outdoor space, plan to prepare out on the painless-to-use gas grille, or grab your favorite book and relax in the hammock under the shaded deck and live oaks.

Once settled in, the Ibis Cottage really becomes a home away from home, but better because it’s at the beach.

Our top Wilmington, NC vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

How to get the best rental value:

• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To get the best value, consider shifting your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer pleasant temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter 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 family and friends at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines contain coupons for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Finding the best vacation rental in the Wilmington, NC area:

• Select a group leader, select your trip dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. NEW!—IBIS COTTAGE—Beach side retreat. Prime location with Bikes and Beach gear! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, contact the property owner before you book the home.

You'll need to work out which bed configuration is optimal for your family.
• If there's a particular Wilmington, NC beach you love, search for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• Some rentals allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the owner about your furry family members before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• Add the property manager's contact info to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.

• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents lots of concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on good ratings to drive more bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
