Appreciate expansive vistas of the marsh, dunes and Atlantic from the comfort of your living room at The Loggerhead. Soak in the calming and secluded vibes afforded by this striking location as you walk along your private boardwalk to Oak Island’s white sand beach.

With common spaces decorated in citrus hues and with warm wooden accents throughout, you’ll feel you’ve escaped to the tropics as soon as you step inside. Gather in the comfortable and inviting living room to watch a favorite show as a family, or shut the TV cabinet doors and watch the flames dance in the fireplace or the sunset reflect on the waves instead. Take a closer look with the supplied telescope to check out dolphins at play or study the stars at nighttime.

The adjacent kitchen is entirely equipped with everything you need to prepare favorite family recipes or the fresh catch of the day. The breakfast bar provides mealtime seating for four, while the close by dining table seats six. A half bathroom is located down the hall for convenience. Ceiling fans are located throughout the home to help keep you cozy.

Off the living room you’ll find the master suite, which features ocean vistas, a king bed and a T.V. for personal entertainment. A recliner provides the ideal spot to curl up in the sun with a good beach read. The attached bathroom offers his and her pedestal sinks, a step-in tile shower and a claw-foot tub. All other sleeping spaces are located on the lower level, along with the laundry room.

The secondary suite is also furnished with a king bed, and offers an en suite bathroom with a step-in tile shower. Savor direct access to the oceanfront screened porch from this bedroom. Next door, the twin bedroom features direct access to the covered porch, which includes a wooden porch swing and classic rocking chair. Just beyond the twin bedroom, you’ll find a full bathroom with hall access and a step-in shower. Directly opposite, the queen bedroom overlooks the front covered porch. The final bedroom, equipped with a king bed, offers direct access to both the ocean front covered porch and the streetside covered porch, a shady respite that also offers impressive vistas of the marsh.

When you are ready to hit the sand, kids and kids-at-heart will adore the excitement of heading down your own private boardwalk over the marsh on your way to the beach. Stop at the deck with constructed-in seating to watch for shorebirds, turtles, deer and more. Once you’re to the shared sand access path, only a few more steps take you to one of the least busy stretches of sand on Oak Island’s East Beach.

Once you return from a day spent in the sun and surf, an enclosed outdoor shower on the ground level with hot and cold water comes in handy when rinsing the sand! You'll also find a half bath located beside the outdoor shower. In the evening, walk less than half a mile to savor a round of mini-golf or some arcade games at Oak Island Jungle Golf, treat yourself to some of the best ice cream on the island at Lil and John’s Sweetreat or indulge in a mouthwatering dining experience at Salt 64. Build vacation memories to last a lifetime at The Loggerhead!

Booking the best Wilmington, NC rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To find the most suitable rental within budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at Wilmington, NC restaurants, tours, and activities.
• Some hosts and property managers offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guides which will include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Document any issues with the property during check in, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if there is a dispute.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Most rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
