Conveniently located near the Middleton Park complex, Watts Nest is the ideal landing point for your next Oak Island vacation! Featuring an elevator for ease of access, your entire family can relax and recharge in the open-concept living space flooded with natural light or appreciate vistas of the rolling Atlantic from the front porch of this new-construction home finished in fall of 2023. And when you're ready to hit the beach, a walk of less than 500 feet takes you from your doorstep to the ideal spot to set up your blanket on the sand.

Cuddle on the couch and loveseat with adored ones as you stream the big game or a favorite movie on the flat screen TV. The modern eat-in kitchen has everything you need to prepare the catch of the day or traditional family recipes. The wooden dining table seats six comfortably, and an additional four barstools are available at the breakfast bar. The property also provides a high chair and a Pack and Play travel crib for little ones.

Just down the hall, a half bath is supplied for your convenience. The laundry closet is just opposite, where a full-sized washer and dryer make dealing with sandy towels and wet bathing suits before heading home a breeze. On either side of this hallway, you'll find two bedrooms connected by a Jack and Jill bath. All four bedrooms have their own TV, accepting you to stream the personal entertainment of your choice with ease before settling down for the evening.

To the west, the front bedroom is furnished with a queen bed, and the bath features a standard tub/shower combo and double sinks, each with plenty of counter space. The back bedroom has a twin-over-double bunk bed and direct access to the back covered porch. To the east, the front bedroom also features a queen bed. While this bath has the same double sink and countertops as the west side, a low-step in shower with constructed-in shower seats and a grab bar is supplied instead. This connects to the back bedroom with a pair of twin beds and its own direct deck access. If additional sleeping space is needed, the couch in the living room pulls out to a queen bed.

Outside, you're sure to spend hours on the covered front porch with plenty of seating appreciating the ocean breeze and vistas of whitecaps on the horizon. Walk three homes over and across the street for the closest beach access, and you'll arrive on the sand in moments. Stroll a block or two to the west to take in craft festivals or open-air concerts at Middleton Park, where you'll also find a seasonal splash pad and an accessible playground for the younger kids.

Tips for getting the perfect Oak Island vacation property experience:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• Summer is the most expensive season in the Carolina Beach area. Reserve your Carolina Beach rental in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer special rates for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitors guides which include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Choose your dates and maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Watts Nest: Ocean View with Elevator, Close to Beach and Splash Pad! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property manager before you book your rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If there's a certain Carolina Beach attraction you are crazy about, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly property. Request specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, hosts charge additional pet fees.

Additional considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Save the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• At Check-in, make note of any issues with the property and immediately contact the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a terrific source for finding the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let thieves ruin your trip.
• When it's time to leave, complete a walk-through to confirm you have not leave anything behind. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a terrific vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
