Come appreciate the coastal lifestyle at its best on OKI! This newly refreshed 3 bedroom, 2 bath home is located on a peaceful street of Oak Island. This home is ideal for friends and families who want to relax and savor a calming getaway. Convenient to the beach and Intracoastal Waterway. Bring your fishing rods and beach attire! Just two streets over from direct beach access via Middleton Avenue and only steps away from beautiful Yacht Drive, ideal for those peaceful morning strolls out to Veterans Park which is a great place to go fishing or savor your morning coffee on one of the swings and watch the fishing boats go by.

After a day of fun at the beach come home and relax on the broad screened-in front porch. Waste away a lazy afternoon in the hammock with your favorite book or just sit a spell on the porch swing and take in the ocean breeze. The smell of Jasmine in the air is enchanting during the spring months and gazing at the starlit ocean sky from the front porch is a favorite way to spend those lazy summer evenings. At nighttime, when all is peaceful on the island, it’s a special treat to rock on the front porch and listen to the relaxing ocean waves in the distance.

This bungalow is attractively adorned in a modern coastal style that will have you moving at a slower pace and living on island time. Savor the open floor plan of the living room, dining area, and kitchen, ideal for spending quality time with family and friends. The living room has a flat-screen TV so you can relax on the couch and enjoy streaming Netflix or your favorite show on Roku. We also provide some family-friendly games and cards to relax after a long day at the beach.

The Kitchen is entirely equipped for those who enjoy preparing and serving meals. Included in the Kitchen are a Fridge, flat top stove and oven, dishwasher, microwave, air fryer, blender, and coffee maker.

The dining room table provides seating for 6. We provide a modest supply of paper towels, toilet paper, hand soap, and dish soap to get you started. The Beach Pantry is located just a little over half a mile from the home and there are numerous grocery stores on the island where you can find everything you need for your stay.

There are three bedrooms, each with their own island theme. In the master bedroom relax with the sea turtles. There is a queen-size bed, tall dresser, and closet to store your belongings. The master bathroom has a shower to allow for added privacy. Lighthouses abound in the second bedroom which is the biggest of the three and has a king-size bed, armoire, nightstand, and desk. Also in this room, you will find a variety of books available for your enjoyment. The third bedroom will sleep 3 with a twin over twin bunk bed as well as a twin daybed. Boats and buoys decorate this room which comes with ample storage in the day bed drawers, dresser, and closet.

The side porch offers an extended platform with a hose for cleaning off your feet and beach gear after appreciating the sand and waves. There is a paved driveway to park your car with convenient access to the front or side doors. Both doors are equipped with keypads, so you don’t have to worry about keeping up with keys in your beach bag.

For those who enjoy shopping and nightlife, Oak Island offers a variety of stores and eateries. Many folks enjoy exploring the historic coastal town of Southport, which is just a fast 15-min. drive from the island. Fresh towels and linens are supplied to make packing even easier.

Booking the best Oak Island rental home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Summer is high season in Oak Island. To get the best rental for your budget, we highly recommend reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are reserved very early. Booking your rental six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitors guide magazines which include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Choose your vacation week and spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Relaxing coastal cottage- Convenient to the Beach, Screened in Porch has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is regularly available online. If they are not listed, contact the property management company before reserving the home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If there's a specific Carolina Beach destination you are crazy about, search for homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.
• Some rentals allow pets, but some don't. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

During your stay:

• Add the host's contact info to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Record any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if damages are assessed.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Be respectful. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager is not available, take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a great stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
