Go ahead, check the surf. With the Ocean Crest Pier just a short walk away, you can pull up it’s web cam. Coordinate with friends at home & wave to them with the Ocean filling in the background. Since OKI is a South-Facing Beach, the sun rises & sets over the water. From the Decks, you get photo worthy vistas. Speaking of photos, don’t you wish you knew the best spots on your vacation to take them? It’s a Shore Thing that there is a book, amongst other local books, to tell you just where they are! Back Decks are also on 2 levels & overlooking the Pool activities. This is where you look down & really feel like you’ve just entered a 5 star resort. There is even a little table to bring out that midday snack & appreciate the fresh breeze.

As you approach you notice the natural area on the side of the bungalow that looks like its own little park. From the Front Deck or gazing through the windows inside, watch the birds flit about, darting in & out of the shade trees & bushes. Drive under the Covered Parking & unload your bags & provisions straight into the Elevator. No lugging heavy bags up the steps.

On the upper level you enter the bright & airy Open Concept Living/Dining/Kitchen areas. With all the windows, it is flooded with Natural Light & you can see the Ocean before you ever put on your swimsuit. In the Living area are 2 Cozy Appreciate Seats & a Couch.

The Substantial Coffee Table is well suited to the wide variety of games to play or puzzles to be assembled. Perhaps you want to go on the deck with your morning coffee & get lost in one of the numerous genres of beach reads to choose from.

The Well-Stocked Kitchen will make you feel like a chef. With tons of beautiful serving pieces you can create a buffet on the Extensive Kitchen Island. There is both a Drip & K-Cup Coffee Maker. If you prefer to Grind your own coffee beans, be sure to bring them & use the Coffee Grinder for that fresh taste & aroma. Create delicious simple meals in the 2 Crock Pots or heat up your leftovers in the Toaster Oven. Blend up the ingredients for either a morning protein shake or that Pina Colada you were wishing for by the Pool. When you come to the Beach in the South, you think of Low Country Boils. Stop by one of numerous Local Fresh Seafood Markets & pick up shrimp & other favorites to traditionally serve them up right out of the Generous Stock Pot. Whether caught or bought, pick up some seafood & steaks for your surf & turf dinners as well. Cook them on the Charcoal Park Grille & dine Al Fresco at the Picnic Table downstairs.

Tips to get the perfect Oak Island vacation home experience:

Sticking to your spending budget:

• The sooner you can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are reserved early. Reserving your rental property six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• To find the most suitable rental within your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area travel guide magazines which include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Choose a group leader, select your trip dates, and select a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. Ocean View - Private Pool, Fenced In - 1 Block from Pier- Elevator has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is regularly available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before booking the home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to establish what configuration is suitable for your group.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or charges applied to your agreement.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental

More considerations for your visit:

• Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let burglars ruin your trip.
• Upon check-in, note any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Re-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at departure. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a excellent time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct 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.
