Revel in the ideal combination of togetherness and private space at this striking duplex, ideal for two modest families visiting together. A rare find on Oak Island, this ocean view home has identical floor plans on both levels connected by an exterior staircase. Guests can even bring fido along for a true family vacation. With simple beach access just a few homes over, this hidden gem is just waiting to be discovered.

Each level of this home features an open concept living space accepting for cavernous bungalow living. Both living rooms are brightly lit with beautiful beach décor and comfortable seating, each furnished with one of the two double-sized sleepers couches along with a flatscreen TV for family movie nights. If game nighttime is more your speed, a sizable coffee table stands ready with more than enough space for you to monopolize.

In each kitchen area you’ll find granite granite counter tops and stainless-steel appliances, a modern space designed for cooking modest family meals and appreciating peaceful moments. Barstool seating for four is supplied to gather around the center island at the end of an eventful day to savor drinks, snacks and conversation.

Right off the eat-in area on each level you’ll find a full bathroom, which includes a full-sized tub/shower combo. Closest to the bathroom there is a guest bedroom with a double sized bed. A TV is included in each of these bedrooms, so the kiddos can still drift off to their favorite movie while the game is on in the living room. This room also includes the washer and dryer inside of the utility closet.

As the final interior space, the front bedroom of each floor provides a calming respite, where you can drift off to sleep to the sounds of waves crashing just across the road. These clean and simply decorated sleeping quarters with a subtle nautical theme feature an inviting king-sized bed and their own flat screen TV for leisure time.

Outside, you’ll find a modest patio space on the ground floor with three Adirondack chairs and a table that begs to be appreciated in the morning sunshine with a cup of coffee. You’ll also find an enclosed outdoor shower, a lifesaver on a beach trip involving modest kids or dogs. The gravel parking pad in front of the home provides plenty of space to park at least four cars.

Strategies to get the very best Cape Fear area rental home experience:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• In the Cape Fear area area, The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are booked early. Booking your vacation property 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• To get the best value, change your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines contain deals for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Make a plan and choose the best Cape Fear area rental home:

• To start, have your family decide on date ranges and a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Coastal Cottage Whole House: Unique Floor Plan Provides Privacy For Two Groups T has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally available on booking pages. If not, email or call the host before booking the home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to determine what is suitable for your trip.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or costs could be applied to your contract.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Tips for your stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your . We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, intercom or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of difficulties.
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
• Record any damages to the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors disrupting your peace. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Re-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on great feedback to drive more bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
