With broad porches on the front and back of the property that include covered decks as well as open areas for sunbathing, relaxation begins before even stepping into the front door of this freshly modernized home.

Bask in the comfortable seating beckons, inviting hours of conversation, or time spent in front of the sizable wall-mounted flat screen TV cheering on your favorite teams. Clean lines, sandy neutrals and cool blues soothe the senses and draw the eye to the eat in kitchen and its gleaming quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances. The oval table comfortably seats six for family meals or game nighttime, with additional barstool seating for five at the kitchen counter.

Upstairs, you’ll find a second king bedroom facing the ocean, and a queen-sized bed in the second bedroom on that floor. Each of the four bedrooms provides its own TV, so no one has to miss their favorite show! The second level also features a modest lounge room equipped with a twin-daybed and twin trundle, and creates a flexible space for reading, peaceful conversation, or additional sleeping quarters.

Savor your favorite cup of coffee on the covered deck while watching the sunrise. Share memorable moments when spending quality time with appreciated ones in this enchanting home. Listen to the waves crash as you breathe in the crisp island air. There's even a 50-amp outlet to charge your electric car or RV, though guests will need to provide their own charging cord. Whatever your reason for a hideaway, Shady Lady has it all!

Our top Vacation rental tips:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• Summer time is high season in Oak Island. Reserve your rental home in Spring or Fall to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guides which often include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to choose the best vacation home in the Wilmington, NC area:

• Select a designated group leader, select your vacation dates, and choose a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. The Shady Lady: Spacious Ocean View Home with Open Floorplan has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is regularly accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the host before reserving the property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what bed configuration is suitable for your trip.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property management company about your furry family members before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• Upon arrival, document any damages to the property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents many concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• At departure, take a walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a fantastic vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct 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 review.
