Come savor the coastal lifestyle at its best on OKI! This newly refreshed 3 bedroom, 2 bath home is located on a peaceful street of Oak Island.

Just two streets over from direct beach access via Middleton Avenue and only steps away from handsome Yacht Drive, ideal for those peaceful morning strolls out to Veterans Park which is a great place to go fishing or savor your morning coffee on one of the swings and watch the fishing boats go by.

After a day of fun at the beach come home and relax on the broad screened-in front porch. Waste away a lazy afternoon in the hammock with your favorite book or just sit a spell on the porch swing and take in the ocean breeze. The smell of Jasmine in the air is enchanting during the spring months and gazing at the starlit ocean sky from the front porch is a favorite way to spend those lazy summer evenings. At nighttime, when all is peaceful on the island, it’s a special treat to rock on the front porch and listen to the relaxing ocean waves in the distance.

Tips to get the perfect Wilmington, NC vacation rental experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• To get the most suitable rental within budget, we suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, property management companies supply Wilmington, NC area travel guides which will include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to choose the perfect vacation rental:

• Select your vacation week and max budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration you need. Relaxing coastal cottage- Convenient to the Beach, Screened in Porch has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the property owner before reserving the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• If there's a specific Wilmington, NC attraction you simply love, keep an eye out for homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking
• Some rentals allow pets, but some do not. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask your host about pet restrictions before booking.

Tips for a fantastic stay:

• Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make sure that damages aren't attributed to your stay, note any problem areas upon your arrival. Contact the property manager immediately to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your quiet neighborhood. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent reviews to drive more reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
