Welcome to the Ibis Cottage, a comfortable home located in the heart of Oak Island. Located on the beach side, you can have your toes in the sand within a 3-min. walk, or take a walk over to 49th Street Restaurant for dinner and drinks. Located blocks away from Publix Grocery and Middleton Park, you are close to all the action but not too close. Take full advantage of the calming and cavernous covered front porch to savor the gorgeous outdoors or discover the island on one of four beach cruisers.

Recently constructed and furnished in 2021, the Ibis Cottage features coastal décor with wood accents and neutral tones. With a pretty open concept, the main floor offers an abundance of natural light with vaulted ceilings. The completely equipped kitchen is completely open to the dining room, which accommodates up to six adults for a seated meal together. Prefer to dine outdoors? Set the outside dining table for dinner instead, conveniently located just off the kitchen under the screened back porch. In the kitchen, you will be pleasantly greeted with all stainless steel appliances and plenty of counter space. The living room is roomy and comfortably furnished for hanging out with family and friends. The focal point of this space is the 65” Samsung flat-screen TV. A guest bath can be found between the living room and guest bedrooms.

All three bedrooms are on the main floor of this home; the master suite with king bed, 50” Samsung flat screen and private bath, a guest bedroom with two twin beds (one with trundle) and 40" flat screen TV, and an additional guest bedroom with queen bed and 40” flat screen TV. Unwind and take in the serene setting of live oak treetops and blue sky from the interior living and outdoor decks. The Master bedroom has shared access to the back deck through sliding glass doors.

With so much outdoor space, plan to prepare out on the painless-to-use gas grille, or grab your favorite book and relax in the hammock under the shaded deck and live oaks.

Once settled in, the Ibis Cottage really becomes a home away from home, but better because it’s at the beach.

Strategies to get the best vacation rental experience:

When to visit Oak Island & When to reserve a Carolina Beach rental home:

• To get the best value, change your trip dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer weather, , and reduced traffic.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your family qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines have coupons for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Planning, selecting, and booking the bestvacation home:

• Select your dates and spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group needs. NEW!—IBIS COTTAGE—Beach side retreat. Prime location with Bikes and Beach gear! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property manager before you book the home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to determine what configuration is suitable for your trip.
• If there's a specific Carolina Beach destination you simply love, search for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• If your family is traveling with pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Get details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Put the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Record any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be useful if damages are assessed.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed everything on check-out day. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a fantastic stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
