Standing near the Oak Island Fishing Pier and featuring a private oceanfront pool, Lighthouse will guide your family to an Oak Island vacation you won’t soon forget! Unwind on three levels of deck space complete with plenty of comfortable outdoor furnishings, including two covered porches and an open sun deck. Take an afternoon nap in the shaded hammock as the sea breeze washes over you or gather around the firepit in the evenings for smores and stories. With elevator access to all floors, this striking home can accommodate your entire family!

The first level is dedicated entirely to common living space. Parlor together in the living room to appreciate a favorite movie on the enormous, wall-mounted, flat-screen TV. The sturdy dining table seats eight comfortably for home-cooked meals or a friendly round of cards. The close by breakfast bar provides seating for another five as well as extraordinary vistas of the crashing surf. Gleaming stone countertops and tile backsplash create an inviting kitchen space, outfitted with everything you need to prepare traditional family recipes or the catch of the day. A half bath is also located on this level for your convenience, with the laundry closet containing a stackable washer and dryer on the opposite side of the hall.

The next two stories provide three bedrooms and two full bathrooms on each floor. Every bedroom has its own TV for entertainment, and all bedrooms except the bunk room also have direct deck access. At the top of the staircase on the second floor, you’ll find the first king bedroom featuring an attached private bath with a step-in shower. On the west side of the home, you’ll find a full bathroom with a standard tub/shower combo, double sinks and hall access shared between the other two bedrooms on this floor. One of these rooms is furnished with a king bed. The third room may be utilized either as a bedroom or as a second living area thanks to the queen sleeper couch, additional-sizable TV and wine refrigerator located here.

The layout of the third floor is nearly the same as the second, with an identical king bedroom and attached private bath at the top of the staircase. The other two bedrooms on this floor again share access to a hall bath, with one of these rooms featuring a king bed. The final bedroom is the bunk room, complete with two twin-over-twin bunk beds. The sliding door in this room has been converted to function as a window only, so you don’t need to worry about little ones escaping to the deck without supervision.

On the ground level, the private pool provides a welcome spot to cool off without the need to navigate rolling waves. Totally fenced, the pool area is complete with comfortable lounge chairs and a stone fire pit. A hammock waits just outside the gates, strung between pilings under the shade of the home. The shared public beach access one home to the west is conveniently reached via the street side of the home, but please note that the beach cannot be directly accessed from the pool area. Feeling hungry? Several eateries sit within painless walking distance of this home, including oceanfront dining options.

Take a break from the turbulent, stormy seas of everyday life and let Lighthouse shepherd your family to a well-deserved respite in handsome Oak Island today!

Strategies to get the perfect vacation home experience:

Getting the most from your spending budget:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Carolina Beach area. To book the best vacation home within budget, we suggest reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at Carolina Beach restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Reserving your rental home up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Some hosts and property managers offer promotional rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area travel guide magazines which will include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Selecting the perfect vacation home:

• Choose your vacation dates and max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Lighthouse: Oceanfront with Pool and Elevator Near Fishing Pier has 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is commonly available on booking pages. If not, reach out to the property owner before you reserve your rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to establish what bed configuration is suitable for your vacation.
• Does your family require special amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking
• If your family is bringing pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

Additional considerations:

• Get the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your .
• To make sure that damages are not attributed to your family's stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon check in. Speak to the rental manager right away to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be respectful. Often, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Re-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a great vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
