Updated 1970's home, reminiscent of childhood vacations at the beach, provides a comfortable, calming home in a peaceful south end neighborhood. Simple access makes it just a 2 min. walk to the beach and a hop and skip to view striking 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. Entirely 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. Savor 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.

Tips and Tricks to get the best Wilmington, NC rental home experience:

Finding your perfect rental home:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are high season in Wrightsville Beach. To find the best value, consider changing your family's Wilmington, NC vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer great temperatures, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the 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 loved ones at the beach.
• Some owners offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family.
• Property managers typically offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines have coupons for nearby tours and attractions.

Selecting the perfect vacation rental:

• Start by choosing your trip dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Vacation Serenity In A Quiet Neighborhood has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is commonly available online. If they are not listed, email or call the host before you book the home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to establish what is best for your family.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you will need a pet-friendly property. Get information on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a certain Wilmington, NC destination you love, look for homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.

Advice for a great stay:

• Add the owner's contact information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many issues.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Make a record of any issues with the property during check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if there is a dispute.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all of your things. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a wonderful time? Many rental managers make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
