We found our favorite NC beach town. Come experience the beauty of Oak Island in this roomy refurbished bungalow under the most pretty twisted oaks on a peaceful street on the friendliest little island. Walk to the dock at end of the street to fish or read or launch your kayak to discover the historic intracoastal waterway and end your day watching the sun set over the water.
Oak Island's uncrowded beaches are just a 2 min. drive or 15 min. walk away.

Spend your days appreciating the miles of shoreline or hiking the overlook trails or taking daytrips to Southport or the Fort Fisher Aquarium or Bald Head Island and come back home to your bungalow under the oak trees. Entirely refreshed and designed for a beach vacation you'll want to keep coming back for.

You'll have simple access when you arrive using a passcode included prior to your stay. Plenty of parking on the paved driveway. The entire home and yard is yours to use, aside from a modest linen closet and garage.

The neighbors call this Dream Street. It's a peaceful and friendly little street with a dock at the end.

The island is painless to navigate. OKI is one of the last beaches with complimentary parking everywhere. For a super fun vacation you can rent a golf cart during your stay.

Feel complimentary to fill the birdbath and watch the birds appreciate. Turn on your bluetooth and hook up to PYLEUSA to start enjoying your music on the home speaker. There are beach towels and buckets just inside the front door and chairs and body boards outside the side door. There's a modest cooler in the kitchen for you to take to the beach. After your beach day hang your towels on the retractable clothesline off the deck that hooks to the tree.
There's a cornhole set under the couch and other board games on the coffee table.
There is plenty of hand soap, paper towels, trash bags, etc.
Feel complimentary to reach out with any questions you have. We're available and want to make your stay great.

Our top Vacation rental tips and tricks:

Money saving strategies:

• Book your rental property in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many rental management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitor guides that include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

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

• First, have your group select a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Cottage by the Sea: Pagnotto Shellback House has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking pages. If not, email the property owner before you reserve your rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to work out what configuration is right for your vacation family.
• Are you visiting for a single event? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property managers charge additional pet fees.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Add the property manager's contact information to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Make a record of any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents lots of concerns.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually 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 shopping?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a excellent stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
