The Mighty Turtle -

Adorable 3 bedroom 2 bath bungalow located just 5 blocks from the beach and close to all Oak Island has to offer. The Mighty Turtle is modest enough for a charming hideaway, fishing trip, or big enough for a family vacation.

Unwind in the peaceful neighborhood, or walk to the beach for the gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. Savor your morning coffee or a invigorating drink from the screened in porch right off the Master Bedroom.

Totally equipped kitchen, comfortable living room, and the kids will appreciate the sizable fenced in backyard- or go the bunk bed room equipped with a DVD player, games, puzzles, books for hours of fun filled play time. Or sit on the sectional couch and relax from a fun, sun filled day on the beach.

Don't forget to have a cookout in the backyard and remember all the fun times you had on your vacation to Oak Island and The Mighty Turtle.

How to find the best vacation home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Carolina Beach area. Reserve your rental property in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Property management companies sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property management companies typically offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides have discounts for nearby shops and restaurants.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by choosing your vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Charming 3BR\/2BA Home Located on a Direct Beach Access Street-Sleeps7 has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Carolina Beach rentals search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the host before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or could be applied to your agreement.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.

During your stay:

• Add the owner's information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would back home.
• To make sure damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas when you arrive. Speak to the host right away to report any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors bothering your life at home. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a fantastic time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
