Savor the shade or sit in the sun in the Adirondack Chairs on the Front Deck. Part of the Magic of the Front Yard is the Colorful World created by the Purple & Blue Solar Lights. On this Quiet Non-Through Street, the Music you hear are the Birds Chirping & the Waves of the Ocean Breaking against the Shore. This bungalow is in a narrow area in the Wooded Section where you can hear the Ocean Calling.

In the backyard you will find the Salt Water Pool. On those blazing hot summer days, the Semi-Shade & Cool Water of the Pool are exhilarating. The Pool is 7’ Deep on one end & Grand enough to Swim Laps or do Water Aerobics. Surrounding the Pool is an Evergreen Astroturf that keeps your feet clean getting in & out of the Pool & creates an Oasis in the backyard. In the evenings, slide into the Pool lit by the Magical Colored Lights shining beneath the water. Watch the Stars as they Sparkle. With the absence of the big city lights, the stars just shine at nighttime. Venus is often visible. Unwind in the Parlor Chairs or bring out lunch or dinner to eat Alfresco at the Umbrella Table. The backyard is also Fenced-In & Dog Friendly. There are 2 Bubble Port Hole Windows at Pooch Height for your dog to see what is going on, on the other side of the fence & perhaps get excited about a Squirrel roaming about.

Before you enter from the Deck, you will notice the Substantial Gas Grille with the Light attached to assure you can see those evening meals as you prepare them. From there you head on in to the Screened-In Porch. Here you have comfortable seating for listening to the many Birds as they each sing their own song. Hear the Waves as you relax. Curl up & read one of multiple Local Beach Reads. Notice the “Doggie Door” is a Magnetic Enclosed Screen that the family dog just pushes right through to go outside. In the Midyard is a Covered Bicycle Rack if you brought yours or rented one on the Island.

Move on inside, & you find an Open Concept Kitchen/Dining/Living Room. The Kitchen has a Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment System that assures that you have the best water you have perhaps ever had at the beach. Whether you pour a glass from the tap or add ice from the freezer, while staying here you don’t have to buy bottled water or bagged ice this trip. Modest Appliances include a matching aqua set of Countertop Microwave, Blender, Hand Blender & Tea Pot. Bring your favorite ground coffee to brew in the Drip Coffee Maker. If you appreciate bagels, there is a 4 Slice Bagel Sized Toaster. The 6 seat Dining Table is close to the Kitchen making Serving & Cleanup fast & painless.

In the Living area are a Cozy Leather Couch, Appreciate Seat & Chair with Ottoman. The Giant Screen TV has Roku Service.

Oak Island rental booking tips and tricks:

Sticking to your spending budget:

• Reserving a rental home in Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties.
• The sooner you can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved very early. Booking your vacation rental 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guides that include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to pick the best rental:

• To start, have your family commit to date ranges and a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration you need. Back Yard Oasis with Salt Water Pool, Dog Friendly with Fenced in Yard has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally accessible online. If they are not listed, contact the property owner before reserving the rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• If there's a particular Wilmington, NC destination you love, look for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• Some rental properties allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the owner about allowable breeds and types before booking.

More considerations:

• We recommend storing the owner's information in your smartphone.
• To make sure damages aren't linked to your family's stay, note any problem areas when you arrive. Contact the host right away to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent a lot of concerns.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a wonderful time? Many rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
