With the flick of a switch, savor the ambiance of a fire any season of the year. Watch your favorite shows on the TV or bring home movies on DVD to relive old memories as you make new ones.

There is sleeping for 6 in the 3 handsome bedrooms & a pull-out couch in the living area for 2 more. 2 bedrooms (Queen-sized beds) share a hall bath with a tub/shower combination. The Primary bedroom (Queen) has an EnSuite bathroom with a walk in shower. Bring your bath bombs & soak away the anxiety of everyday life. No need to live out of suitcases as each bedroom has closets & dressers to unpack. Use the included full-sized Washer & Dryer to perhaps pack lighter & have room to pack souvenirs on your trip home.

The beach access is a short drive or walk down the street. There is one bicycle supplied for your use or you can rent bicycles or a golf cart. As you return from your fun in the sun, unload in the garage & wash away the salt & sand in the outdoor shower (hot/cold water) just out back.

One of the features of this bungalow is a convenient desk space with natural light & direct access to the back deck if you prefer to work outdoors. If you pack your yoga mat, there is a roomy additional room flooded with natural light for exercise or play.

Tricks and tips to get the very best rental home experience:

Get the best rental home value:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. To get the best value, try shifting your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm weather, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guides contain deals for local shops and restaurants.

Filter your search:

• Begin by choosing potential vacation weeks and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration you need. Wonderful Island Home In the Peaceful Wooded Section Only Mins to the Beach has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available online. If you don't see them listed, contact the host before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to work out which bed configuration is optimal for your vacation family.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or could be applied to your contract.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.

Have a wonderful stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. Store the host's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, intercom or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of difficulties.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Note any issues with the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an incredible resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• When it's time to leave, complete a final walk-through to confirm you didn't leave anything behind. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, remember to take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a excellent stay? Most rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order 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 review.
