Welcome to Bahama Hut, a cozy getaway just steps from the beach with striking ocean vistas. This open and airy beach home is ideal for your group of 6 to take a pause on life and relax in Oak Island.

Step out onto the deck and discover unobstructed vistas of the ocean and sand. Appreciate a sunrise with a cup of coffee in the salt air, or just sit outside and soak it all in. The beach, sand, and surf are just steps away. After a day in the sun, take advantage of the outdoor shower to stay sand complimentary indoors, or freshen up with the in-home laundry.

If you're looking for evening activities or need a break from the beach, take a walk to close by Middleton Park. Located at the heart of Oak Island, there are a variety of markets, music events, festivals, and more in the summer. You can take a stroll along the walking path, or challenge a friend to a round of pickleball (or another game - there are other athletic courts available!) Take the kiddos to the splash pad or any of the jungle gyms to get some additional energy out. End the day with a local ice cream shop or grab a souvenir at one of the store.

Strategies to get the perfect vacation rental experience:

Finding the best rental home value:

• The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are booked very early. Booking your rental property up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Booking in Fall or Spring is an excellent way to save on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Some owners offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC area magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines contain deals for local accommodations and attractions.

Selecting and booking the perfectvacation home:

• Start by selecting your a vacation week and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your family needs. Semi Oceanfront, Steps to Beach, Cozy Cottage has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is commonly available online. If you don't see them listed, email the property management company before you reserve the home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before booking

Advice for a great stay:

• Add the host's contact info to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let thieves spoil your vacation.
• To make certain that damages aren't attributed to your stay, record any problem areas when you arrive. Get in touch with the host immediately to report any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a great time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address 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.
