About this Property

  • Sleeps 8
  • 4 Bedrooms
  • 3 Bathrooms
  • Private vacation home
  • Approximately 2190 square feet

Welcome to the Twin Tides Intercostal Cottage. One of two of our unique side-by-side properties on the ICWW with a private pier and dock- with a slip available to our avid boaters (upon request and review assuming un-rented and for an additional fee).

We refreshed this home with our own family of 6 in mind. Very family friendly and family aligned.

When we modernized, we had no intention to rent the home so we put all we had into it, making it ideal for our sizable family. Our kitchen features all Subzero and Wolf appliances- a true home chefs dream. The kitchen features concrete countertops- which are great but please be cautious and don't leave liquids long enough to sink in!

On the main level there is a master bedroom, with simple access off the kitchen and private access to the bathroom. Great for parents wanting a separate space from their kiddos, or a excellent spot for in-law/grandparents.

Upstairs we have three additional bedrooms and a loft/flex space.

Currently, the loft is used with kids in mind. We have crafts and a table for kids to be creative for any afternoon storm time.

There is a bedroom specifically keeping the kids in mind. It features 2 twin beds.

The second bedroom upstairs features a king size bed and shares a bathroom with the kids bedroom.

There is also a master upstairs! This room is too ideal for parents. It features a king size bed, and the attached private bathroom spared no expense for us. It's got handmade tile in the bathroom, concrete countertops featuring shells from the intracoastal and granite floor. It also has a massive tub for your enjoyment. The master also has its own private balcony, which is hands down the best spot to watch dolphins and the sunrise.

Our location is unique, we're located right across from a protected island. So the vistas will always be unspoiled from development. We're also down a long gravel driveway giving you plenty of privacy. We are also on a peninsula, accepting not only intracoastal and ocean vistas, but marsh vistas on the backside. One of my favorite things about this property is the marsh. The marsh is so alive, and something right out of a novel.

We have a huge lot- esp for the beach! Please use the playground, pier, and property at your own discretion. The yard is ideal for our fur kids to also get some off leash exercise, please just make sure our pet friends stay in our yard- while it's very private, we do have neighbors that share that long dirt road we live down.

For the pier, the boat slips are available for an additional fee upon prior approval and assuming the slips aren't already rented. Feel complimentary to fish or clam or crab! There is a sand bar that peaks it's head at low tide, it is a MUST to go discover the sandbar. Let the kids catch a hermit crab or go clamming to get a real feel for the coastal lifestyle. Feel complimentary to grab a kayak or paddle board if available. We have numerous but guests tend to not exactly "care" for these items so it's dwindling each year we rent. But, you're always more than welcome to bring whatever gear you may need to savor the water.

We also feature an outdoor bathroom and a separate outdoor shower. If you've got kids, you've heard the bathroom pleas as soon as you get located. The outdoor bath makes it easier than taking soaking wet little ones all the way in the home! The shower is alluring to wash all that sand off prior to going inside too, and obviously something us owners appreciate for guests to use!

This home is at the end of nearly a mile long dirt driveway, it's a very private escape! If seclusion isn't your thing, or you like city lights, this listing isn't for you!

We're always updating furnishings and my toxic trait is never being done with renovations, so expect some updates from current photos!

Looking for a family reunion? Book our Ocean Tides private home also. Vistas of the Atlantic Ocean can be seen from our freshly remodeled property right next door!

Minutes away from Carolina Beach, the NC Fort Fisher Aquarium, the NC Battleship, golf courses or downtown Wilmington. This home spared no expense to really make it a getaway to visit time and time again. You will appreciate this coastal bungalow that looks like it came out of a novel. We only rent enough to be able to hang on to the property and appreciate it ourselves! We hope you adore our home as much as ours. In a ideal world our guests would be yearly repeat visitors!

How to get the best Carolina Beach vacation property experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

  • In the Carolina Beach area, The sooner your group can book, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are reserved very early. Booking your rental home six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
  • June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Carolina Beach area. To get the largest vacation home within budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite Carolina Beach restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
  • Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your group qualifies for a special rate.
  • Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
  • Many management companies supply Carolina Beach area visitors guide magazines which include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Make a plan and pick the perfect Carolina Beach rental home:

  • Choose your dates and max budget.
  • Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Twin Tides Intracoastal waterway cottage w\/views of the ocean private dock &more has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
  • Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the property manager before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You'll need to work out what is optimal for your group.
  • If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
  • If there's a specific Carolina Beach attraction you long to visit, search for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
  • Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

During your stay:

  • Get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
  • Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents lots of difficulties.
  • Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would at home.
  • Note any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be beneficial if there is a dispute.
  • Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors bothering your peace and quiet. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would've not otherwise known about!
  • Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently 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 fine dining?
  • When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
  • Inspect the property a final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
  • Leave a review! Hosts rely on great ratings to compel more bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. 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.
