Take an afternoon nap in the shaded hammock as the sea breeze washes over you or gather around the firepit in the evenings for smores and stories. With elevator access to all floors, this beautiful home can accommodate your entire family!

The first level is dedicated entirely to common living space. Parlor together in the living room to savor a favorite movie on the huge, wall-mounted, flat-screen TV. The sturdy dining table seats eight comfortably for home-cooked meals or a friendly round of cards. The close by breakfast bar provides seating for another five as well as extraordinary vistas of the crashing surf. Gleaming stone countertops and tile backsplash create an inviting kitchen space, supplied with everything you need to prepare traditional family recipes or the catch of the day. A half bath is also located on this level for your convenience, with the laundry closet containing a stackable washer and dryer on the opposite side of the hall.

The next two stories provide three bedrooms and two full bathrooms on each floor. Every bedroom has its own TV for entertainment, and all bedrooms except the bunk room also have direct deck access. At the top of the staircase on the second floor, you’ll find the first king bedroom featuring an attached private bath with a step-in shower. On the west side of the home, you’ll find a full bathroom with a standard tub/shower combo, double sinks and hall access shared between the other two bedrooms on this floor. One of these rooms is furnished with a king bed. The third room may be utilized either as a bedroom or as a second living area thanks to the queen sleeper couch, additional-sizable TV and wine refrigerator located here.

The layout of the third floor is nearly the same as the second, with an identical king bedroom and attached private bath at the top of the staircase. The other two bedrooms on this floor again share access to a hall bath, with one of these rooms featuring a king bed. The final bedroom is the bunk room, complete with two twin-over-twin bunk beds.

On the ground level, the private pool provides a welcome spot to cool off without the need to navigate rolling waves. Entirely fenced, the pool area is complete with comfortable lounge chairs and a stone fire pit. A hammock waits just outside the gates, strung between pilings under the shade of the home. The shared public beach access one home to the west is effortlessly reached via the street side of the home, but please note that the beach cannot be directly accessed from the pool area.

Feeling hungry? Several eateries sit within simple walking distance of this home, including oceanfront dining options. Or rent the optional Bintelli golf cart for an additional fee of $600/week to cruise to neighborhood ice cream stores, beach stores and nightlife spots in style.

Take a break from the turbulent, stormy seas of everyday life and let Lighthouse shepherd your family to a well-deserved respite in handsome Oak Island today!

Getting the best rental value:

• To make sure no damages are linked to your family's visit, inspect the property for any problem areas upon your arrival. E-mail the property manager immediately to report your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be useful.

• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to confirm you've collected everything. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.

Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
