The kitchen feeds off the living area and offers a sizable prep and cooking space finished with stainless steel appliances and a dining room table with seating for six. An additional table with seating for eight sits by the wet bar up the stairs!

The master suite flows from the opposite side of the living area. This space welcomes you with a king bed, flat screen TV and immaculate vistas or the waterway. This suite also features a private bathroom with a tub and walk in shower to pair with the dual vanity.

Located just a few steps up, a second living area provides an additional space to relax after a fun day on the island. Two recliners and a reclining couch center the room around a mounted flat screen TV with streaming capabilities.

A mini wet bar caps off this space with an array of beverage glasses, a full refrigerator, full sink and ice maker.

A pair of queen bedrooms feeds from the second living space and offers a comfortable getaway to go along with a shared bathroom and TVs in each room.

The second level homes the final two bedrooms, furnished with a king bed and flat screen TV in each to pair with the shared bathroom.

A jumping off point for exploring the outdoors is just a few properties over where you can rent kayaks and paddle boards from the Long Beach Paddle Company! There are even racks on the dock to store all the toys! Note the boat lift if not for guest use.

Want another option for exploring the island? An owner-supplied 2022 six seat golf cart with Bluetooth and a backup camera can be rented for an additional fee of $450 per week. The golf cart has a town parking decal to make driving around the island much easier for you.

How to find the best rental experience:

Sticking to a spending budget:

• In the Wilmington, NC area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked early. Reserving your rental up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• To get the best value, consider shifting your vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warm weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.

Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.

Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is right for your vacation family.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly property. Get information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the property to confirm you've collected everything. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager is not available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a terrific time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
