3 Bedroom (one bedroom is the loft) with Private HEATED Pool (no additional fee April-October for heated pool like most units), Pool Table, Ping Pong Table, Tiki Bar, Air Hockey, Foose Ball, On the Water

The 54 Richmond Street bungalow is a astounding, professionally landscaped beach vacation destination with a private swimming pool in back yard (not under the home). The bungalow includes a private 20x8 foot dock with ladder on deep cement canal available for boating and swimming. The completely enclosed underneath of this bungalow features the following magnificant vacation amenities:

Underneath the home:
1) a professional-sized pool table
2) a professional-sized ping pong table
3) a bar area that opens to the back deck
4) a bathroom
5) two TV's
6) a gas grille
7) a refrigerator/freezer
8) stairs leading up into the main level of the bungalow.
9) Air Hockey Table
10) Foose Ball Table
11) Fishing rods to use off dock or beach. Technically, if 16 or older, you need a NC Saltwater fishing license. However, it is not likely you will be checked on the dock or the beach. If in a boat, very likely you will be stopped and EVERYONE on the boat will need a fishing license if ONE rod is on the boat, no exceptions from the game warden)
12. Enclosed hot water outdoor shower. Please wash off after trips to the beach before getting into the poor or home.

The main level of the bungalow features three bedrooms (the loft is counted as one of the bedrooms), two full baths, three TV’s, washer, dryer, loft, enormous great room, covered front and back porches, and more – all porches painted in 2018 and the front porch was repainted in 2021. The property originally was constructed with an additional bedroom that has been knocked out to create a bigger sitting area.

This bungalow is attractively located on a cement canal 1 lot away from the corner at the end of Richmond Street - safe for kids to play in the street as there is not much traffic. Fishing is generally better at the end of streets as you can cast into the Richmond Street Canal or the Main canal running along Craven Street from the dock.

The 54 Richmond Street bungalow is on the right side of the street; at Ocean Isle this puts the hot afternoon sun on the front of the home keeping the back yard mostly in the shade after 1 pm, which is ideal for grilling, swimming, and playing.


Two full baths on main level of bungalow, and half bath underneath bungalow and a enclosed hot water shower outside.

Fridge/Freezer upstairs, and another refrigerator/freezer are supplied underneath bungalow.

No Extra Charge for Heated Pool April-October. We can talk about heating the pool based on the weather in March and November, so please ask. I keep the pool at 85. Industry standard is 80 to 83 with a max recommended from the health department is 84 to 85. Guest are not allowed to adjust the pool temp, but I will have someone lower the temp if desired (not likely this will be wanted). I have the biggest heater made for a pool (it will heat a pool well over 10 times the size at the property), but if booking in early April, or late October there is no guarantee the heater can keep up if the weather is abnormally cold.

Tips and Tricks for getting the best Ocean Isle Beach vacation rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Book your rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Booking your vacation rental up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines have money saving offers on nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

• Note the number beds and the configuration your family needs. Ocean Isle Beach, NC Cement Canal Lot With HEATED Private Pool has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the property owner before you book the vacation home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or charges may be applied to your agreement.

Advice for your stay:

• We recommend storing the owner's contact information in your smartphone.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your family's visit, record any problem areas upon your arrival. Call the property manager right away to record any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Re-check the property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at departure. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on good reviews to stimulate new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will be thankful you shared your review find their best vacation rental. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
