Incredible bespoke home right on the water. Unobstructed view of Figure Eight/Middle Sound over the Intracoastal Waterway on Middle Sound Loop in Wilmington NC. Amazing vistas over the Sound and ICW. Great birding site - herons, egrets, ospreys, kingfishers, oystercatchers, and seagulls. We often see dolphins up close, and fishermen appreciate our area!

Your own private dock with 24 hour deepwater access, plenty of water toys including kayak, stand-up paddleboard. Personal powerboat is available for a supplemental fee, and can be waiting at your private dock from our friends at close by Entropy Boat Units.

The home features a NEW 40 foot dock, which provides power outlet and filtered freshwater supply for boating convenience. We even provide crabpots for those inclined to catch Carolina blue crab and the occasional stone crab. Very good site for casting right off our dock. After the devastating hurricane of September 2018, we rebuilt the dock entirely with 316-grade stainless steel fasteners,fittings and cleats, all new pilings and decking, a 4-ft width aluminum ramp, and a 40x10 foot floating dock.

This well-apportioned, immaculate home is an Interior Designer's personal residence. The gorgeous east-facing master suite rewards the early riser with striking sunrise hues and sweeping vistas of Figure Eight inlet and the Intracoastal Waterway. The master suite has its own deck, and en suite private bathroom with a humongous shower and coupled showerheads. Another upper level bedroom is also en suite with its own deck with constructed-in seating, while the third upper bedroom is also en suite. Each bedroom is customized but harmonious with the cheerful color scheme.

A full-width deck ensures a incredible view from the entire main level, whose open floorplan accepts for painless entertaining. On the lower level, the full-width patio features Adirondack chairs and a hammock for appreciating the waterfront vista, as well as an outdoor grille to broil your fresh catch to perfection.

Privacy and luxury abound at "Maison Blanc", furnished in harmonious colors, enhanced by striking original sailing photographs, and by vintage Art Deco travel and sporting posters. Contactless check-in and enhanced cleaning are standard, for your tranquility of mind. We adore our home, and invite you to see why!

Booking the best Wilmington rental experience:

Sticking to your rental home budget:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To book the largest vacation home within your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular Wilmington, NC attractions.
• The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation property six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your group qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies frequently offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Often, rental management companies supply Wilmington, NC area travel guide magazines which include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.
