We are on the 3rd row back from the beach and about a 2-3 min. walk to a public beach access on 26th.

House sleeps 10 with a king and a queen bed on the main level, and a queen, two twins and a queen sleeper couch on the 2nd level.

There are two outside Blink cameras. One is on the front porch facing the front door. The second is under the screened porch facing out under the home and toward the street. The cameras are turned ON during rental season ONLY between 10 am and 4 pm on Saturdays, check in day. This accepts us to let the property manager know when guests are gone so that the home can be cleaned for the next guests. The cameras are turned OFF after 4 pm on Saturdays and remain OFF during your stay. They remain ON at all times in the off season.

Although we have the off season blocked off for personal use, we would consider renting the home during that time if we are not going to be there. We try to get there as often as we can, and sometimes we don't know until a few days before. But e-mail us if you are considering a last min. fall, winter or spring hideaway to the beach! The home may be available! We will not rent too far in advance, but it's worth a try!

Vacation rental home tips and tricks:

Sticking to your rental home budget:

• In the Wilmington, NC area, The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your vacation home six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Summer months are high season in Oak Island. Book your rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Often, property management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitors guides which will include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible online. If not, email or call the property owner before reserving the property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a rental that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, property managers charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a particular Wilmington, NC destination you love, look for homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.

Some things to know before you go:

• Add the owner's phone number to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents quite a few problems.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Note any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be useful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors bothering your life at home. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to make sure you've collected everything. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, remember to take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on great reviews to inspire future bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review find their best vacation home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
