Come savor the coastal lifestyle at its best on OKI! This freshly refreshed 3 bedroom, 2 bath home is located on a peaceful street of Oak Island.

Just two streets over from direct beach access via Middleton Avenue and only steps away from impressive 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.

Our top Carolina Beach rental home booking tips and tricks:

Get the best rental home value:

• To find the most suitable vacation home within your budget, we recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite Carolina Beach restaurants and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. 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 or host if your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines have discounts for nearby tours and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Start by selecting your a vacation week and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your family requires. Relaxing coastal cottage- Convenient to the Beach, Screened in Porch has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Carolina Beach rentals search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available on booking websites. Otherwise, call the property management company before you reserve the property. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to determine what is right for your family.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking
• If your family is traveling with pets, you will need a rental that allows animals. Request information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

Tips to have a fantastic stay:

• Add the host's contact information to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Document any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, intercom or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few issues.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a excellent vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address 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.
