Wake up to the beautiful sights the Intracoastal Waterway has to offer each morning by making your way to the dock with a warm cup of coffee to appreciate, or even a complete breakfast al fresco thanks to the outdoor dining set arranged there. Drink in the natural beauty as you watch shore birds, deer, fox, and even bald eagles from the privacy of your own backyard. Dockside Heaven offers a calming coastal getaway in a prime location just around the corner from local stores and eateries and a straight shot down the road to the beach, while also providing the opportunity to chill in the backyard or lazily sway in the hammock as you watch sailboats pass by throughout the day. Finest of all, this dog-friendly home accepts you to bring your furry best friend along for the adventure. And if you are looking to bring your boat on vacation the public boat ramp at NE 55th street is just three blocks away making it painless and convenient to hit the water.

The living area features wood beam ceilings and plenty of space to stretch out and spend time with the ones you adore. Richly colored rooms paired with the unique artwork scattered throughout the home make this a really a one-of-a-kind getaway. The gleaming deep wood and broad counterspace of the kitchen invite you to prepare favorite dishes or lay out the ultimate charcuterie board for lazy snacking. Gather around the huge flat screened TV to bond over a favorite movie in the living room, or retire to the lounge for intimate conversation or an engaging game nighttime.

Three bedrooms allow space for your entire group including one king bed, one queen and a queen futon. After a long day full of island adventures, relax with a relaxing soak in the sizable tub in the shared bath, or ease weary muscles in the calming steam shower located in the en-suite master bathroom.

Combining the peaceful pace of life on the waterway with the convenient location close to East Beach eateries and stores, this home really is a Dockside Paradise. See you soon at the dock!

How to get the best Oak Island rental home experience:

When to go & When to reserve a rental home:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in the Cape Fear area area. To book the largest rental within your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities.
• Hosts sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Often, management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitors guide magazines which will include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Select a designated group leader, choose your vacation dates, and select a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Dockside Paradise: Artsy and Eclectic with Views of Intracoastal Waterway has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, contact the host before you reserve the rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to work out what configuration is right for your vacation.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or charges may be applied to your invoice.
• If there's a specific Cape Fear area attraction you love, keep an eye out for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental

Tips for your stay:

• Get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent many concerns.
• Lock your rental home while you're out. Protect your property!
• Upon check-in, record any damages to the property and immediately alert the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great source for finding the best local beaches.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed everything at check-out. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, remember to take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a excellent time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective 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 comments.
