7 Happy Clams - This impressive home is the answer to all your cravings for tranquility, peaceful, serenity and happiness. Located in the peaceful wooded area of Oak Island, but still very close to the beach and all the fabulous activities and great eateries the island and surrounding towns have to offer. Surrounded by beautiful trees, you can start your mornings out slow on the calming screened porch with your favorite cup of coffee as the ocean breezes rustle gently through the trees and breathe in the healing salt air. Inside, you will continue to feel a sense of calm as you take in the soothingly decorated beach theme throughout the home. With the open concept floor plan, everybody can be together, even as the chef in the family whips up a special meal. The master bedroom suite is very cavernous and offers a whirlpool tub in the private bath so you can relax your cares away. There are also two guest bedrooms - one a bunk bedroom, ideal for the kids - the other offering a queen and a twin single, ideal for a modest family or teenagers. Don' forget about the enormous fenced backyard where you can grille out your catch from a day of fishing at the beach or visit one of the local fresh seafood markets to grab your dinner! Savor rocking away on the two-seater swing under the home as the kids play, catching up on old times with family and friends. Everything here is so peaceful and beautiful that you will be "happy clams" wanting to come back year after year!

Booking the best Oak Island vacation home experience:

Sticking to a rental home budget:

• To find the most suitable rental home for your budget, we suggest booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at popular Cape Fear area attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your rental home up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Many property management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitor guide magazines that include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to pick the perfect rental home in the Cape Fear area area:

• Choose dates and maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group needs. 3 BR\/2 BA Home, Minutes to Beach, Pool with Heating, Sleeps 9 has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible online. If they are not listed, email the property management company before you book the vacation home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You will need to work out which bed configuration is right for your family.
• If there's an individual Cape Fear area beach you love, search for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask your host about your furry family members before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• We recommend storing the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Document any issues with the property at 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 valuable if a dispute is filed.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many concerns.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be an incredible source for finding the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental while you're out. Protect your property!
• Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a wonderful vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
