-- THE PROPERTY --

Bedroom 1: Queen Bed / Bedroom 2: Queen Bed / Bedroom 3: 2 Twin Beds / Bedroom 4: Queen Bed

Located on the breathtaking shores of Central Oak Island, "Windrift" offers a unique East Coast beach getaway ideal for a enormous family or group of close friends. With an open floor plan, everybody can join in the conversation or getaway to one of the 4 private bedrooms. This bungalow has a freshly updated interior, plenty of nautically themed decor, and tons of cozy furnishings to make you feel right at home!

Start your morning on a healthy note with a brisk walk or jog along the ocean! After your morning walk, relax beneath the vaulted wood beam ceiling in the living room and appreciate a morning cup of coffee watching the sunrise while your adored ones roll out of bed.

The well-equipped kitchen features all of the cooking essentials along with a dishwasher and disposal to make clean up a breeze! Savor your culinary creations inside at the breakfast bar or the kitchen table, or bring them outside to the picnic table on the beach deck to listen to the tide while you dine.

There's no better place for an afternoon glass of sweet tea or wine than the back deck at "Windrift". Oak Island is particularly unique because it faces south and accepts you and your travel companions to watch BOTH sunsets and sunrises! Run down to the beach for a invigorating swim and then rinse off with the private-enclosed outdoor shower before coming in for the evening.

Before you call it a nighttime, relax on the cozy living room couch and end the day by watching your favorite movie on the flat-screen TV in the living room. Make yourself comfortable on one of the 3 queen beds or the bedroom with 2 twin beds and rest up for another day in heaven!

-- THE LOCATION --

Oak Island is known for its laid-back reputation, local attractions, pier, and is ideal for families or people looking for a casual vacation. There are plenty of delicious local eateries around the island, and some local hots spots include Island Way, Swain Seafood Shack, Shagger Jacks, and Turtle Island Restaurant. It's never a boring time when you walk down to the scenic Ocean Crest Pier!

The Town of Southport is only a 13-mile drive from your door and a quintessential coastal fishing village you need to experience. Spend your time browsing through the local art galleries, antique shopping or take a shot at crabbing along the Inter Coastal Water Way. Dine along the water down at Yacht Basin, rock in one of the many chairs or swings watching the big ships pass by.

Southport also offers ferries to Fort Fisher and Bald Head Island if you want to adventure off the mainland! Bald Head Island has a lighthouse and some beautiful vistas of the coast while Fort Fisher is home to the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher.

Some other options for fun include golfing at one of the local courses (Oak Island Golf Club and Lockwood Folly Country Club are great), driving south to Myrtle Beach for a day of outlet shopping, visiting Broadway at the Beach, or take a ride on the SkyWheel.

Fishermen definitely adore spending the morning casting their lines off the Ocean Crest Pier to try and reel in lunch. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for dolphins and other fish playing in the ocean while you fish!

Rental property booking tips and tricks:

Find your perfect rental home:

  • Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
  • Summer time is high season in Oak Island. To book the most suitable rental home for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite Carolina Beach restaurants and activities.
  • Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
  • Property management companies frequently offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
  • Many property management companies supply Carolina Beach area travel guides which will include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Selecting and booking the right Carolina Beach rental:

  • First and foremost, have your group agree to vacation dates and a max budget.
  • Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Oak Island Beach Front Cottage has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
  • Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is commonly accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the property owner before you reserve the home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You'll need to work out what is right for your family.
  • If your family is bringing pets, you will need a rental that allows animals. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property owners charge additional pet fees.
  • Looking for particular amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental home.
  • Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

More tips for your visit:

  • Get the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
  • Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of problems.
  • Lock your rental while you're away. Protect your property!
  • At Check-in, document any issues with the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
  • Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a fantastic resource to find the best local attractions.
  • Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
  • Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all belongings. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
  • Inspect the property one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
  • Leave a review! Property owners rely on great feedback to compel future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your review find their best rental home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.

Victory Beach Vacations

Visitors who are on the hunt for the postcard-perfect vacation rental in the heart of the Carolina Beach or Kure Beach area will find an enticing selection and plenty of friendly customer service when they rent through Victory Beach Vacations. Based in Carolina Beach in the coastal Cape Fear region, Victory Beach Vacations has more than 100 vacation rentals in all shapes and sizes to ensure that every vacationing family can find their dream home away from home on the beach.   When you book your Cape Fear getaway with Victory Beach Vacations, the fun doesn’t end when you leave the beach, it continues with an array of privately-owned properties outfitted with all of the amenities needed for a fabulous beach vacation.   Jenna Lanier, General Manager, explains that her family first opened the rental and property management business in 2002. At the forefront of Victory Beach operations is Lanier’s mother, Caroline Meeks. Meeks is both the Broker in Charge and co-owner with husband, Buck Meeks, who manages the Field Services team with Lanier’s husband, Scott.   For nearly 20 years, the Victory Beach team has worked tirelessly to establish a network of top-of-the-line rental properties for Cape Fear visitors to enjoy. “As far as our properties go,” explains Lanier, “they are all updated, well-furnished and appointed. “We have always performed post-cleaning inspections and since the pandemic, have put freshly laundered duvets over all of the comforters between rentals.”   Lanier emphasizes how important the guests experience is “we strive to give our guests a relaxing, stress free, memorable vacation.” This emphasis on customer service has led to Victory Beach Vacations having a 4.8 Google rating with over 300 reviews by happy owners and guests.In addition to Victory Beach’s superior sanitation practices, the company offers properties for every type of visitor. Choose from luxury oceanfront houses and condos to more reasonbly priced 2nd row properties with oceanviews. Many properties include pools and hot tubs as well, perfect for outdoor entertaining, and many are dog friendly.   Lanier also notes that all properties are within walking or driving distance to Pleasure Island’s main attractions – Carolina Beach and Kure Beach. The former, as described by Lanier, is the more commercialized of the two destinations and features a boardwalk, outdoor dining options and a plethora of weekly activities including fireworks, live music, amusement park pop-ups, and movies under the stars. Kure Beach offers a more residential feel with its fishing pier, intimate restaurants and family favorite, North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher.More water fun awaits, too. “There is a harbor and a canal that feed into the intercoastal. We have several properties on the harbor so guests can bring their boat, kayak, [or jet ski] and travel between islands,” says Lanier.   A stay with Victory Beach Vacations is an annual pilgrimage for most. “A large percentage of guests are previous guests. Some even reserve the same property for the next year as they’re checking out,” Lanier says. “It’s almost like it’s their personal vacation home.”   Even before guests arrive at their vacation destination, the Victory Beach Vacations’ website greets them with a live beach cam and exquisite aerial footage of both Carolina and Kure Beaches.
