Quietly tucked away under Oak Island's famed trees, this charming home, finished in 2024, is ready to welcome your family on your next trip Down By The Sea. Unwind on the covered front porch, soak in the private backyard hot tub or hop in the optional golf cart (available for an additional fee of $600/week) to hit the sand or discover the area.

The open concept living room features a cathedral ceiling and huge transom windows to let in plenty of sun. Subtle nautical details are complimented by textured elements, sandy neutrals and sun-bleached wood tones. Cozy up by the electric fireplace in the matching pair of armchairs during the colder months. The roomy wooden dining table seats six, with seating for an additional four at the adjacent breakfast bar. The gleaming white kitchen remains warm and inviting thanks to under cabinet lighting and glass-fronted curio cabinets lit for display. This space is completely outfitted with the essential kitchen tools you need to prepare meals during your stay, and the huge walk-in pantry provides plenty of space for your groceries.

Beyond the kitchen, the aqua tones of sea glass invite you through to the master suite. Furnished with a king size bed and wall-mounted intelligent TV, this room also provides direct access to the screened porch overlooking the fenced backyard. The spa-like en suite bathroom features a pair of basin sinks, a padded bench and an exceptional step in shower with multiple heads and an enclosed soaking tub. The sizable walk-in closet also provides access to the laundry room.

The other two bedrooms on this level share access to a full bathroom with a standard tub/shower combo and hallway access. The middle bedroom provides a queen bed, while the front room is furnished with a twin bed and a twin trundle. This room also contains a wall-mounted intelligent TV for personal entertainment and a modest desk in case homework still needs attending to during your visit.

On the ground floor, the inviting lower level entrance leads you into a entryway and the sheltered access for the home's private elevator. The final bedroom is furnished with a queen bed and is located on this level, along with an additional living space and enormous kitchenette with a full sized refrigerator! Just off the entry, the lounge room contains a round kitchen table that seats four as well as a couch and a large intelligent TV mounted over a second electric fireplace. The full bathroom provides a step-in shower.

Outside, a comfortable patio area under the home is located within the fenced backyard and is furnished with a sectional and dining-height table, along with additional bench seating. Food and drink prepared in the kitchenette can be conveniently delivered directly to this area via a pass-through window with a roll up metal shutter. A gas grille is supplied for your group's bar-b-que master, and the private hot tub is located in the grassy fenced backyard along with a firepit.

Above this space, you'll find a comfortable grouping of patio furnishings on the screened back deck, a protected perch where you can savor an evening beverage while keeping an eye on the kids playing below. The covered front porch offers a pair of classic rocking chairs and a shady respite where you can watch the world go by - on island time, of course! When you're ready to hit the beach, hop in your car for a fast drive over to the nearest public beach access. Or rent the property's optional golf cart (golf cart costs are in addition to rent) for your stay and keep the sand at the beach rather than tracking it home. Book your stay Down By The Sea today!

Oak Island rental home tips and tricks:

Sticking to a budget:

• The earlier your group can book, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Booking your vacation rental up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Oak Island. To get the largest rental home within your budget, we recommend reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at popular Cape Fear area attractions and restaurants.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, travel guides have deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Down By The Sea: Modern Coastal Home with Hot Tub has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area rentals search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible on booking pages. If not, email the property owner before reserving the property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine what bed configuration is suitable for your group.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly rental. Ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property managers charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a certain Cape Fear area destination you crave, search for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

More considerations:

• Put the owner's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of issues.
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Upon check-in, note any damages to the property and immediately contact the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors disrupting your peace and quiet. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out 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.
• Did your group have a terrific vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
