Kick off your shoes, relax, breathe in the ocean air, you're on beach time now. You have arrived at your Ideal Little Beach Cottage located in the woodland area of Oak Island, where the sound of the ocean and birds compete for your attention.

You're welcomed at the front door with a pair of North Carolina rocking chairs and the sound of the wind chimes blowing in the breeze. Step inside to your new home away from home. You will find an open floor plan and plenty of light. The simple but comfortable living room couches invite you to sit down for a while. Unwind under the cooling breezes of the palm-bladed ceiling fan. Pick up and read one of the books on the North Carolina coast.

In the spotless kitchen, you will find refreshed lighting and a ceramic tiled floor. The cupboards are packed full of dishes, cookware, modest appliances, and glasses. As we appreciate to prepare you will find everything is supplied for you to prepare delicious vacation meals. Alternatively, a list of my favorite eateries and menus are included if you decide to not prepare during your stay.

Open the sliding glass doors and walk into the pleasing screened porch. It's the ideal place to sip your morning coffee, savor an evening drink or read a book curled up on a chair on a rainy day, listening to the storm outside. The porch offers vistas of the sand garden and planted flowering beds with handmade ceramic sculptures. On the concrete patio, you will find a dining table to appreciate meals al fresco. An outdoor shower fed from the garden hose is available for a fast rinse of the ocean water.

Back inside walk down the hallway where the laundry room sits behind folding doors. The master bedroom is light and airy with modern design furnishings. The queen-size bed is comfortable and ensures a restful nighttime's sleep, dreaming of waves and sand. Off the bedroom is the master bath; it is well lit, clean, and fresh. Two simple twin beds are in the second bedroom with wall-mounted reading lights overhead. A modern maple dresser and mirror complete the room. The main bathroom is simple and clean with seashells as the motif. All linens are included for your stay including two sets of bath towels for each guest. Cleaning supplies are also supplied for your use.

Now it's time to head to the real star of the island, the beach. It's a short distance by bicycle or car with over 60 public beach access points. No matter the time of the year your time spent at the beach will be memorable.

Our top Vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

How to get the best value:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Reserve your Wilmington, NC rental home in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. 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? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines have discounts for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Finding the perfect vacation home in the Wilmington, NC area:

• Select vacation dates and spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Perfect Little Beach Cottage for your stay on Oak Island has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the property manager before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Wilmington, NC beach you are enamored with, look for homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.

Know before you go:

• Add the property manager's information to your phone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would at home.
• To make certain that damages are not linked to your stay, record any problem areas during check in. Get in touch with the rental manager right away to document any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors bothering your peaceful home. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a wonderful time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
