Located among the oaks and on the Intracoastal Waterway, Whitecaps offers a peaceful, calming coastal getaway full of amazing vistas and unique amenities to make the memories last forever.

The enormous waterway facing deck highlights the property with plenty of Adirondack furnishings for relaxing while you watch the boats sail by on the Intracoastal. If you are looking to hit the water, the public boat access is just three blocks away!

Kids and adults alike will appreciate the downstairs game room finished with corn hole boards, a pool table and a ping pong table!

The interior welcomes you into the main living area, which provides plenty of seating with a huge sectional and two recliners gathered around a huge flat screen TV with streaming capabilities.

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-included 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.

Memories are ready to be made during your next stay at Whitecaps!

Though family pets are not allowed, please note that dogs may be present during an owner stay for those guests who are allergic to pets.

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect rental home experience:

Sticking to your rental home budget:

Summertime is the most expensive season in the Wilmington, NC area. Reserve your Wilmington, NC rental in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
Property managers usually offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines contain offers and deals for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Make a plan and choose the bestrental:

Select vacation week and max budget.
Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Whitecaps: Intracoastal Waterway Home with Pool Table, Ping Pong, Dock has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking websites. If not, reach out to the host before you reserve the home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? If so, use a map search to browse nearby properties.
Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
Some rental properties allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
Document any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be helpful if damages are assessed.
Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a fantastic source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal items. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Record a video to document the condition of the property.
Did your family have a fantastic time? Most rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
