Three FSTV's with streaming capabilities, phone, DVD player, cd player and wireless internet access. Centrally located and close to both island bridges, this bright and cheerful bungalow only four rows back from the water is waiting to welcome you and up to two dogs per stay for a calming oceanside holiday. With a split floor plan featuring two bedrooms and a shared hall bath on either side of the open concept living area, this is an ideal beach home for two families to share and appreciate together.

The refreshed kitchen includes multiple new major kitchen appliances, Quartz countertops and backsplash and freshly painted cabinets with plenty of storage for your items. The rest of the home has also been freshly updated throughout with new floor, washer/dryer, couches and comforters.

The inviting features continue outside, where you’ll find an broad covered back porch with plenty of seating (including lounge chairs and a rocker), a gate to help keep little ones corralled and a view that includes glimpses of the water. There is also an open front deck with additional furnishings. Dine al Fresca at the picnic table underneath the home and then savor the breeze with a drink in hand while lazily swaying on the porch swing. The driveway provides ample parking for your entire group.

A short walk of fewer than 900 feet takes you from the driveway to the sand where you’ll lay your blanket, and a enormous outdoor cooler with wheels is supplied and stored in an outdoor closet to help get your things to the beach. A roomy enclosed outside shower with hot and cold water as well as a changing area make cleaning up after returning from the beach a breeze.

As an added additional, the spectacular walkway over the Davis Canal at 29th St is even closer than the beach and provides a marvelous opportunity to view the island’s wildlife, including foxes, herons and other shorebirds, deer and more. This walkway also provides simple access to the Oak Island Rec Center, where kayaks can be rented to discover the island's waterways. You're also only a two-min. drive from Heron Lookout Park on 40th Street.

How to find the best Wilmington, NC rental home experience:

Sticking to a spending budget:

• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Reserve your Wilmington, NC rental property in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides contain coupons for local accommodations and attractions.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Choose dates and spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Pelican Palace: Beachwalk Home Centrally Located on Oak Island has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available on booking pages. If not, email or call the host before you book the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You'll need to work out what is best for your vacation group.
• Is your group looking for particular amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or applied to your agreement.

During your stay:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your visit, make a record of any problem areas upon your arrival. Call the host immediately to report any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected everything. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and look for damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a wonderful stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
