Located on the peaceful 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 sizable gated porch with two porch swings and three patio chairs, and is cooled by two enormous ceiling fans. The home is pet-friendly (with a two-dog limit) and pets are given painless access to the entirely-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 adore the Bluetooth-enabled portable speaker, with AM/FM radio and the ability to sync with both iPhone and Android. The home also offers superb 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.

Tricks and tips for getting the best Cape Fear area rental home experience:

Finding your perfect rental home:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Oak Island. To book the most suitable vacation home within budget, we highly recommend booking in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite Cape Fear area restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. 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? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, management companies supply Cape Fear area area travel guides that include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to choose and book the best Cape Fear area rental home:

• Choose a group leader, choose your vacation week, and select a budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Relax and Refresh at Oak Island Brightside has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area rentals search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is usually available on booking pages. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the host about your furry family members before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

• We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Note any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be valuable if a dispute is filed.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an incredible resource to find the best local beaches.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all personal items. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, remember to take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Many rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
