OKI•VACAY introduces the "Steps from the Beach" Cottage. Feel the ideal blend of vintage appeal and modern comfort at our attractively remodeled two-bedroom, one-bath bungalow on Oak Island, NC. Just steps from the beach (literally across the street), this enchanting getaway maintains its nostalgic character while offering refreshed amenities. Appreciate the comfortable living spaces adorned with classic coastal décor, completely equipped kitchen, and inviting bedrooms that promise restful nights.

This Cottage offers 2 full bedrooms with Queen Size beds and also has an open loft upstairs (not shown in pics). Please keep in mind that this area is ideal for kids playing games or additional storage but when this Cottage was constructed the pathway up the stairs was typical to be narrow since it was mostly used for storage or attic.

Note: There is another Cottage adjacent to this property that shares a sizable outdoor deck with plenty of private space for each unit (Please see in pics). Excellent for a two-family vacation as they can be rented together. Having beach access across the street it can also host a modest wedding with pre & post ceremony gathering as well as a modest beachfront ceremony - inquire with owner - wedding packages only available in Spring and Fall/early Winter.

Our top Rental home booking tips:

Cost saving strategies:

• Book your vacation in Fall or Spring to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the 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 evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, travel guides contain money saving offers on nearby shops and restaurants.

Planning, picking, and booking yourrental home:

• Select a group lead, select your vacation week, and select a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family requires. Steps to the Beach Cottage: 2-bedroom 2nd Row Pet-Friendly Cottage has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Carolina Beach vacation rental search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the property owner before you book the vacation home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out what is suitable for your family.
• If there's a particular Carolina Beach destination you simply love, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or may be applied to your agreement.

More tips for your visit:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• Record any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be very helpful if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental home while you're out and about. Protect your property!
• Re-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets 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 group have a wonderful vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct 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 comments.
