Revel in the ideal combination of togetherness and private space at this appealing duplex, ideal for two modest families visiting together. A rare find on Oak Island, this ocean view home has identical floor plans on both levels connected by an exterior staircase. Guests can even bring fido along for a true family vacation. With painless beach access just a few homes over, this hidden gem is just waiting to be discovered.

Each level of this home features an open concept living space accepting for roomy bungalow living. Both living rooms are brightly lit with striking beach décor and comfortable seating, each furnished with one of the two double-sized sleepers couches along with a flatscreen TV for family movie nights. If game nighttime is more your speed, a huge coffee table stands ready with more than enough space for you to monopolize.

In each kitchen area you’ll find granite granite counter tops and stainless-steel appliances, a modern space designed for cooking modest family meals and appreciating peaceful moments. Barstool seating for four is supplied to gather around the center island at the end of an eventful day to savor drinks, snacks and conversation.

Right off the eat-in area on each level you’ll find a full bathroom, which includes a full-sized tub/shower combo. Closest to the bathroom there is a guest bedroom with a double sized bed. A TV is supplied in each of these bedrooms, so the kiddos can still drift off to their favorite movie while the game is on in the living room. This room also includes the washer and dryer inside of the utility closet.

As the final interior space, the front bedroom of each floor provides a calming respite, where you can drift off to sleep to the sounds of waves crashing just across the road. These clean and simply decorated sleeping quarters with a subtle nautical theme feature an inviting king-sized bed and their own flat screen TV for leisure time.

Outside, you’ll find a modest patio space on the ground floor with three Adirondack chairs and a table that begs to be appreciated in the morning sunshine with a cup of coffee. You’ll also find an enclosed outdoor shower, a lifesaver on a beach trip involving modest kids or dogs. The gravel parking pad in front of the home provides plenty of space to park at least four cars.

Appreciate the space, but too much home for your group? While this listing is for the entire home, each floor of Coastal Cottage may also be rented individually. Check out the listings for Coastal Cottage Up and Coastal Cottage Down for more information.

Tricks and tips to get the optimal rental experience:

Find your best deal:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in Oak Island. Booking in Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Some owners offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner 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 shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides have offers and deals for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

How to pick the best rental home:

• Select your vacation week and max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Coastal Cottage Whole House: Unique Floor Plan Provides Privacy For Two Groups T has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, call the property manager before you reserve the rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to work out what configuration is right for your vacation family.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask your host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Tips for a smooth stay:

• Get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Protect your property!
• During arrival, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected everything. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent reviews to propel future reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your feedback find their best rental home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
