It’s time for you to savor a vacation on the island and there’s no better way to relax than with Sandy Palms! Conveniently located in the center of fun close to dining options and the Ocean Crest Fishing Pier, this pet friendly beach home is only a five-min. walk to the oceanfront via public beach access and a three-min. walk to the breathtaking walkway at 19th Street, which provides pretty vistas and incredible opportunities to watch shore birds feed in the Davis Canal. Welcoming one dog up to 30lbs, this classic vacation rental with a fenced backyard is a great homebase for families to discover the island from.

An enclosed staircase under the home leads up to the first level landing, where you’ll enter the comfortable living room. A enormous intelligent TV is included so you can stream your favorite shows with the ones you adore. Just off the living room is the kitchen, entirely equipped with everything you need to prepare family meals. A modest dining table seats four to five comfortably.

Further down the hall, you’ll find a full bathroom with a standard tub/shower combo and the first of two bedrooms on this floor, furnished with a double bed and a twin bed. The master bedroom, located off the living room, features a king bed and an ensuite bath providing both a step-in shower for washing the sand away and a garden tub for soaking adventure weary muscles. On the other side of the living room, the covered front porch with outdoor furnishings provides a ideal perch to catch the sunset and appreciate glimpses of a marsh view and area wildlife from this shade respite.

The final sleeping space is located on the upper level, which is reached via the external enclosed entry staircase. Here, you’ll find a second seating area with a loveseat and recliner along with the second flat screen TV. Please note that no cable or streaming services are supplied directly on this TV - guests must bring their personal streaming devices and appropriate hookups in order to utilize this T.V.. To the other side of this bigger open space are two double-over-double bunk beds. A half bathroom is also located on this level, and a final interior staircase leads to the highest deck on the property, where you can soak in the sunshine as you sip your favorite morning coffee. Appreciate expansive vistas that stretch to the Atlantic Ocean glimmering on the horizon from this vantage point or watch the kids as they play in the fenced backyard below.

Under the home, you’ll find thoughtful features to help you make the most of your time here, including two outdoor dining sets, a shaded porch swing and even an enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water that makes rinsing the sand off of babies and fur-babies alike a breeze. Gather around the firepit in the evening with drinks and s’mores and relax to the sound of the waves while the kids play safely in the fenced yard. After all, the best memories are made on days that begin and end with Sandy Palms!

Please note that guests are not allowed to charge golf carts at this property.

Finding the best Oak Island vacation home experience:

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

  • The sooner your group can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved very early. Reserving your rental 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
  • Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. To get the best value, try shifting your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer excellent temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
  • Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
  • Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
  • Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitor guides that include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the property 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 vacation home:

  • Begin by choosing your a vacation week and a maximum budget.
  • Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Sandy Palms: Cozy Cottage Close to Beach Access has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
  • Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available on booking websites. If not, contact the property manager before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
  • If your group is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
  • Visiting for a single event? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
  • Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking

Advice for a great stay:

  • Add the owner's contact information to your phone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
  • Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, elevator or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent lots of problems.
  • Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are gone, just like you would at home.
  • Upon arrival, note any damages to the property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
  • Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors disrupting your peaceful home life. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have never otherwise known!
  • Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
  • Double-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at departure. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
  • Walk through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, ensure that you take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
  • Did you have a wonderful vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.

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.
