OKI•VACAY introduces the "Steps from the Beach" Cottage. Feel the ideal blend of vintage appeal and modern comfort at our handsomely modernized two-bedroom, one-bath bungalow on Oak Island, NC. Just steps from the beach (literally across the street), this enchanting getaway maintains its nostalgic character while offering refreshed amenities. Appreciate the comfortable living spaces adorned with classic coastal décor, completely equipped kitchen, and inviting bedrooms that promise restful nights.

This Cottage offers 2 full bedrooms with Queen Size beds and also has an open loft upstairs (not shown in pics). Please keep in mind that this area is ideal for kids playing games or additional storage but when this Cottage was constructed the pathway up the stairs was typical to be narrow since it was mostly used for storage or attic.

Note: There is another Cottage adjacent to this property that shares a enormous outdoor deck with plenty of private space for each unit (Please see in pics). Excellent for a two-family vacation as they can be rented together. Having beach access across the street it can also host a modest wedding with pre & post ceremony gathering as well as a modest beachfront ceremony - inquire with owner - wedding packages only available in Spring and Fall/early Winter.

Animals are limited to no more than 2 dogs. Please confirm breed of dogs when booking. No other family pets other than dogs are allowed. A one time $125.00 per pet fee will be added to booking.

*If any dog exhibits aggressive or threatening behavior to neighbors guests may be asked to leave the property without a refund. Dogs must be controlled on a leash at all times unless they are inside the home.

Please park cars as close to your corresponding unit as possible and be mindful to leave an adequate parking spaces for 1 car next door (Unit B). Note, most of the time travelers are bringing only one car so parking is not relevant but we need to be mindful in certain circumstances when there's more than 2 cars on the property.

How to get the best rental value:

• In the Wilmington, NC area, The sooner your group can book, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early.

Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
