Feel the ultimate in relaxation as you allow yourself to drift with the proverbial tides and sway with the swells of the sea during a stay at Jellyfish Cottage. Boasting a unique two-wing floor plan with ocean vistas and decorated in shades of sand and sea grass, bohemian textures and understated nautical elements throughout the home combine with a sense of whimsy and invite you to slow down, linger and discover.

Enter from the partially covered deck into the bright and welcoming living room. A pair of chairs and a plush couch beckon with their abundance of throw pillows and woven blankets. Gather together to watch a favorite movie on the wall-mounted intelligent TV, or watch the sun glisten on the waves instead. When it's time to retire for the nighttime, the couch converts to a twin bed if additional sleeping space is needed.

The sturdy oval dining table seats six guests, with space for an additional four available at the close by breakfast bar. The gleaming white kitchen is outfitted with everything you need to prepare meals together during your stay, and the under-cabinet lighting along with plenty of counterspace for preparation and storage help you feel right at home. Gaze out the window and watch pelicans and gulls swoop into the sea or watch for dolphins playing as you rinse local produce in the sink. Pendulum lights in the kitchen reminiscent of a jellyfish's bell and a seashell chandelier over the dining table provide the ideal finishing touches to this space.

You'll also find the master suite in the south wing, furnished with a king bed and sizable wall-mounted intelligent TV. The classic iron bedstand, comfortable throw blankets and fluffy bed linens entice you to grab a book from the close by dresser and settle in. The en suite bathroom features his and hers sinks and a standard tub/shower combo with a sliding glass door.

Between the south and north wings of the home you'll discover a enchanting partially covered porch, certain to become the center of your vacation memories. Savor a meal al fresco here as you're cooled by the ocean breeze at the outdoor dining table seating six. There's plenty of space for kids or dogs to romp and burn off energy as the family gets ready to hit the beach - this home accepts up to two dogs per stay. The laundry closet is located here as well, filled with a stackable washer and dryer and conveniently available whenever you need it without disturbing other group members.

In the north wing of the home, you'll find a short hallway connecting two bedrooms and a full bathroom with a standard tub/shower combo with a sliding glass door. Both bedrooms provide wall-mounted intelligent TVs for personal entertainment. The first room is furnished with two double beds and the second bedroom offers two twin beds. Coordinating linens and furnishings throughout the space adds to the resort-like feel, and the separation of the wings accepts you to conveniently settle little ones to bed while the adults continue to savor their evening.

Downstairs, the cavernous enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water is a lifesaver when it comes time to rinse sand off of babies and fur-babies after a long day at the beach. Speaking of the beach, a walk of less than 400 feet takes you from your doorstep to the sand via the public beach access point. Thanks to the well-established vegetation on the dunes to your west and a narrowing of the island that means fewer homes, you'll set up on one of the most private stretches of Oak Island's West Beach. Soak in the serenity of nature and let your cares drift away by booking a vacation at Jellyfish Cottage today!

How to book the best Carolina Beach vacation property experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early. Booking your vacation rental up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Summer is high season in the Carolina Beach area. Reserve your Carolina Beach rental property in the Spring or Fall to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. 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.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides contain deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to select the best rental in Oak Island:

• Select a group leader, select your dates, and select a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group requires. Jellyfish Cottage: Dog-Friendly Boho Elegance with Ocean Views has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is almost always available on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before you reserve your rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Some properties allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the owner about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• If there's an individual Carolina Beach destination you are crazy about, look for homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Tips for your stay:

• Store the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, television set or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of concerns.
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let thieves ruin your trip.
• Note any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are very helpful if a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a fantastic resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors 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 bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on good reviews to stimulate future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share 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 host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
