Three FSTV's with streaming capabilities, phone, DVD player, cd player and wireless internet access. Centrally located and close to both island bridges, this bright and cheerful bungalow only four rows back from the water is waiting to welcome you and up to two dogs per stay for a calming oceanside holiday. With a split floor plan featuring two bedrooms and a shared hall bath on either side of the open concept living area, this is an ideal beach home for two families to share and appreciate together.

The remodeled kitchen includes numerous new major kitchen appliances, Quartz countertops and backsplash and newly painted cabinets with plenty of storage for your items. The rest of the home has also been freshly refreshed throughout with new floor, washer/dryer, couches and comforters.

The inviting features continue outside, where you’ll find an broad covered back porch with plenty of seating (including lounge chairs and a rocker), a gate to help keep little ones corralled and a view that includes glimpses of the water. There is also an open front deck with additional furnishings. Dine al Fresca at the picnic table underneath the home and then savor the breeze with a drink in hand while lazily swaying on the porch swing. The driveway provides ample parking for your entire group.

A short walk of fewer than 900 feet takes you from the driveway to the sand where you’ll lay your blanket, and a huge outdoor cooler with wheels is included and stored in an outdoor closet to help get your things to the beach. A roomy enclosed outside shower with hot and cold water as well as a changing area make cleaning up after returning from the beach a breeze.

As an added additional, the breathtaking walkway over the Davis Canal at 29th St is even closer than the beach and provides a amazing opportunity to view the island’s wildlife, including foxes, herons and other shorebirds, deer and more. This walkway also provides simple access to the Oak Island Rec Center, where kayaks can be rented to discover the island's waterways. You're also only a two-min. drive from Heron Lookout Park on 40th Street.

Strategies for getting the best Wilmington, NC rental home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• The sooner your group can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked very early. Booking your vacation rental up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Wilmington, NC area. To get the most suitable rental home within your budget, we strongly suggest booking in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. 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.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area travel guides which will include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to pick the perfect vacation home in Oak Island:

• Begin by selecting the best vacation week and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. Pelican Palace: Beachwalk Home Centrally Located on Oak Island has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is usually available on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the property manager before you book the property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to work out what is optimal for your family.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly rental. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property managers charge additional pet fees.
• If there's an individual Wilmington, NC attraction you long to visit, browse rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Some things to know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your phone.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are out! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
• Document any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if a dispute is filed.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• On check-out day, take a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and look for damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a wonderful stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
