Feeling down? Some quality time with family and friends at this classic beach bungalow is just the Remedy you're looking for! Nap in the hammock as the ocean breeze sweeps over you, gather on the covered porch for peaceful conversation as you watch the rolling waves or walk across the street to comb the sand for sea-borne treasures.

An eye-catching tile backsplash and bright white cabinetry welcome guests into the kitchen, where two barstools at the center island allow you to keep the family chef company as they prepare meals. Entirely supplied with serving and cookware, you'll find everything you need to serve up simple family favorites or prepare the fresh catch of the day. The open-concept design flows into the dining area, where the glass top tale seats six comfortably. In the living room, a couch, adore seat and pair of armchairs provides plenty of space to gather together to watch a favorite movie on the enormous TV or gaze at the sea as you watch pelicans and gulls swoop for their next meal.

To the east, two bedrooms with queen beds share hall access to a full bathroom with a standard tub/shower combo. The oceanfront bedroom on this side also provides an armchair and a TV for personal entertainment. On the west side of the home, the oceanfront king bedroom connects to the bunkroom via a Jack and Jill bath with a double vanity. The bunkroom is furnished with a twin-over-twin bunk bed and a futon that provides the ideal additional hang out space. (Please note that the top bunk is rated for a max. weight of 120 lbs.) Each of these bedrooms provides a TV as well.

The covered front porch is furnished with a pair of wooden Adirondack chairs as well as a pair of higher Captain's chairs that really let you drink in the view. Underneath the shade of the home, a circle of classic wooden rockers beckons you to sit together and appreciate the sea breeze, while the classic wooden picnic table is the ideal spot to dine outdoors. The enclosed outdoor shower makes rinsing off after a day on the beach simple, and when it is time to hit the beach, less than 400 feet takes you to Oak Island's famed white sands via the 13th Place West Beach Access. For those with mobility concerns, the accessible access at 10th Place West is still less than 800 feet from your doorstep!

Rental property booking tips:

Cost saving strategies:

• Summer is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Book your vacation home in Fall or Spring months 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 on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation home six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies frequently offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides contain deals for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Selecting and booking yourrental:

• Start by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Remedy: Updated Carolina Cottage with Ocean Views has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the property owner before reserving the vacation property. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or charges might be applied to your agreement.

Tips to have a smooth stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Add a note with the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Upon arrival, make note of any damages to the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a terrific resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• At departure, complete a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a great time? Many rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
