• Approximately 1230 square feet

Located on the calming west end, Oak Island Brightside offers a cavernous living room and eat-in kitchen, three bedrooms, two baths, and laundry facilities. After a day at the beach, the gated porch keeps little ones and family pets from straying too far as the grown-ups relax on the swings and deck chairs, soothed by the calming sound of the ocean while ceiling fans above provide a gentle breeze. Recent updates include a new HVAC system, washer/dryer, and kitchen appliances.

There is a king-sized bed in the main bedroom, which is equipped with its own Roku TV and full bathroom. The second bedroom features a comfortable queen-sized bed, while the third bedroom is ideal for kids and teens with a single-over-double bunk bed and a trundle bed that pulls out from underneath.

Clean bed linens are supplied in all rooms and will be neatly folded and placed on the beds prior to your arrival.

The front of the home has a huge gated porch with two porch swings and three patio chairs, and is cooled by two sizable ceiling fans. The home is pet-friendly (with a two-dog limit) and pets are given painless access to the completely-fenced backyard. The driveway offers ample parking, and doubles as a pickleball/badminton court (net, rackets etc are included). The side yard offers additional parking and a close by hose, convenient for boaters. The backyard also has a charcoal grille available for your use, and a second hose near the side entrance, helpful for rinsing off sand after a day at the beach.

Your stay also includes complimentary use of beach towels, beach chairs, a cooler, a Bluetooth-enabled portable speaker, and a beach umbrella. The living room features a Roku TV with local TV channels and sign-in access to your Netflix, Prime, Disney, and Hulu accounts. Music fans will appreciate the Bluetooth-enabled portable speaker, with AM/FM radio and the ability to sync with both iPhone and Android. The home also offers alluring WIFI. You'll access the home by entering your unique door code into the intelligent lock, while a single external security camera provides additional security. The entire home is yours during your stay, except for one closet locked for the host's access only. Have questions? Send us a message; we'd be happy to answer.

How to book the best Oak Island vacation rental experience:

How to get the best value:

• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Reserve your Cape Fear area vacation home in the Spring or Fall to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guides have money saving offers on local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Planning and choosing the rightrental:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation week, and choose a budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration you need. Relax and Refresh at Oak Island Brightside has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is regularly available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property management company before booking the rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine what configuration is right for your group.
• Are you visiting for a single event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Have a great stay:

• Get the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone.
• To make sure that damages aren't linked to your family's visit, note any problem areas during arrival. Contact the rental manager immediately to document any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent resource to find the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected everything. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a excellent stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
