Step out onto the deck and discover unobstructed vistas of the ocean and sand. Savor a sunrise with a cup of coffee in the salt air, or just sit outside and soak it all in. The beach, sand, and surf are just steps away. After a day in the sun, take advantage of the outdoor shower to stay sand complimentary indoors, or freshen up with the in-home laundry.

If you're looking for evening activities or need a break from the beach, take a walk to close by Middleton Park. Located at the heart of Oak Island, there are a variety of markets, music events, festivals, and more in the summer.

Our top Vacation rental booking tips:

When to book & When to go:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in Oak Island. Booking a rental in the Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guides contain discounts for local accommodations and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Begin by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Semi Oceanfront, Steps to Beach, Cozy Cottage has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available online. If they are not listed, reach out to the property management company before reserving the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine what configuration is optimal for your vacation group.
• Some properties allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• If there's a specific Cape Fear area attraction you are enamored with, search for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More tips for your stay:

• Add the host's contact information to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let thieves spoil your family vacation.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your family's visit, inspect the property for any problem areas during arrival. E-mail the rental manager right away to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. 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.
• Did you have a excellent time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear it. 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 feedback.
