Incredible bespoke home right on the water. Unobstructed view of Figure Eight/Middle Sound over the Intracoastal Waterway on Middle Sound Loop in Wilmington NC. Amazing vistas over the Sound and ICW. Great birding site - herons, egrets, ospreys, kingfishers, oystercatchers, and seagulls. We often see dolphins up close, and fishermen adore our area!

Your own private dock with 24 hour deepwater access, plenty of water toys including kayak, stand-up paddleboard. Personal powerboat is available for a supplemental fee, and can be waiting at your private dock from our friends at close by Entropy Boat Units.

The home features a NEW 40 foot dock, which provides power outlet and filtered freshwater supply for boating convenience. We even provide crabpots for those inclined to catch Carolina blue crab and the occasional stone crab. Very good site for casting right off our dock. After the devastating hurricane of September 2018, we rebuilt the dock entirely with 316-grade stainless steel fasteners,fittings and cleats, all new pilings and decking, a 4-ft width aluminum ramp, and a 40x10 foot floating dock.

This well-apportioned, immaculate home is an Interior Designer's personal residence. The striking east-facing master suite rewards the early riser with striking sunrise hues and sweeping vistas of Figure Eight inlet and the Intracoastal Waterway. The master suite has its own deck, and en suite private bathroom with a giant shower and coupled showerheads. Another upper level bedroom is also en suite with its own deck with constructed-in seating, while the third upper bedroom is also en suite. Each bedroom is customized but harmonious with the cheerful color scheme.

A full-width deck ensures a excellent view from the entire main level, whose open floorplan accepts for painless entertaining. On the lower level, the full-width patio features Adirondack chairs and a hammock for appreciating the waterfront vista, as well as an outdoor grille to broil your fresh catch to perfection.

Privacy and luxury abound at "Maison Blanc", furnished in harmonious colors, enhanced by striking original sailing photographs, and by vintage Art Deco travel and sporting posters. Contactless check-in and enhanced cleaning are standard, for your tranquility of mind. We appreciate our home, and invite you to see why!

Getting the best rental home experience:

Find your best deal:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in Wilmington. To book the largest rental home within budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Some owners offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines contain discounts for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Choosing and booking your prefect Brunswick area rental:

• Select your dates and budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Private dock on the Waterfront “Maison Blanc\": ICW\/Figure 8: sleeps 10 has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available online. If not, contact the host before you reserve the property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a property that allows animals. Request details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers charge additional pet fees.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental

More considerations:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few problems.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would at home.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your stay, inspect the property for any problem areas during check in. Contact the host right away to document your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic source for finding the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Double-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent feedback to drive more bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
