Updated 1970's home, reminiscent of childhood vacations at the beach, provides a comfortable, calming home in a peaceful south end neighborhood. Painless access makes it just a 2 min. walk to the beach and a hop and skip to view impressive sunsets over the sound. A bird sanctuary is a block away on the south tip of the island. Terns nest there during the summer. It's a great place for kids to bicycle, scoot or skateboard on kid friendly streets so between the beach, the sound, and the neighborhood, kids can spend tons of time outside. Totally equipped kitchen makes it simple to prepare fresh seafood dishes for a family meal. Open floor plan accepts for ease of entertaining.
The 4 bedrooms supply 2 queen and 2 double beds with 2 full baths located between rooms. Appreciate ocean breezes while rocking in rocking chairs on the front porch, in the mornings with coffee, after a day at the beach with a beer or glass or wine, or star gazing at nighttime. The carport entrance is covered in jasmine for delicious smells when it's blooming in June. Parking for up to 6 cars is a plus as parking on the side of the street is not allowed and guests can visit during the day without paying public parking costs. The home provides 2 TV's, wifi, dvd player, and a radio/CD player.
The utility room below supplies a washer and dryer, body board, skim board, sand toys and comfortable beach chairs. An outside charcoal grille makes it painless to prepare while watching the sunset over the sound.
If you want to live a simple life of ease and relaxation on your vacation, this home and location is ideal.

Booking the best rental home experience:

When to go & When to book:

• Summer is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. To find the best value, try changing your family's Wilmington, NC trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic.
• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are booked early. Reserving your rental property six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC area magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitor guides have money saving offers on local tours, shops, and attractions.

Choosing the perfect rental in the Wilmington, NC area:

• Select your dates and maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Vacation Serenity In A Quiet Neighborhood has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available online. If not, call the property manager before you book the vacation home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to establish what bed configuration is right for your group.
• If there's a specific Wilmington, NC destination you love, look for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or charges might be applied to your agreement.

More considerations:

• Add the host's information to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Make a record of any issues with the property at check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be beneficial if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent lots of issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers disrupting your life at home. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• On check-out day, take a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent feedback to stimulate more reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
