Appreciate all that Oak Island has to offer at this cozy, nostalgic beach home.

Pale aqua paint on the wooden walls and clean white painted ceilings and beams brighten the space for a light and airy feel. Even Fido can join in on the fun, as up to two dogs are welcome to vacation with your family per reservation year-round and for off-season monthly units.

Spend your days appreciating the sand and surf just steps outside your door via a private direct beach access, and your evenings calming on the covered porch bonding with family to the soundtrack of crashing waves.

Oak Island rental property booking tips and tricks:

Finding your perfect rental home:

• To find the best value, shift your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines have deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to choose the best rental in Oak Island:

• Select a designated group leader, choose your dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Crazy Cat Lady: Nostalgic, Dog-friendly Beach House with Modern Amenities and Be has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is commonly available on booking websites. If not, contact the property manager before reserving your rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable breeds and types before booking.

More tips for your stay:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• To make sure no damages are attributed to your stay, note any problem areas when you arrive. Speak to the property manager right away to document any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let burglars ruin your trip.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected everything. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a terrific time? Many rental websites make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
