Standing near the Oak Island Fishing Pier and featuring a private oceanfront pool, Lighthouse will guide your family to an Oak Island vacation you won’t soon forget! Unwind on three levels of deck space complete with plenty of comfortable outdoor furnishings, including two covered porches and an open sun deck. Take an afternoon nap in the shaded hammock as the sea breeze washes over you or gather around the firepit in the evenings for smores and stories. With elevator access to all floors, this gorgeous home can accommodate your entire family!

The first level is dedicated entirely to common living space. Parlor together in the living room to appreciate a favorite movie on the huge, wall-mounted, flat-screen TV. The sturdy dining table seats eight comfortably for home-cooked meals or a friendly round of cards. The close by breakfast bar provides seating for another five as well as extraordinary vistas of the crashing surf. Gleaming stone countertops and tile backsplash create an inviting kitchen space, outfitted with everything you need to prepare traditional family recipes or the catch of the day. A half bath is also located on this level for your convenience, with the laundry closet containing a stackable washer and dryer on the opposite side of the hall.

The next two stories provide three bedrooms and two full bathrooms on each floor. Every bedroom has its own TV for entertainment, and all bedrooms except the bunk room also have direct deck access. At the top of the staircase on the second floor, you’ll find the first king bedroom featuring an attached private bath with a step-in shower. On the west side of the home, you’ll find a full bathroom with a standard tub/shower combo, double sinks and hall access shared between the other two bedrooms on this floor. One of these rooms is furnished with a king bed. The third room may be utilized either as a bedroom or as a second living area thanks to the queen sleeper couch, additional-sizable TV and wine refrigerator located here.

The layout of the third floor is nearly the same as the second, with an identical king bedroom and attached private bath at the top of the staircase. The other two bedrooms on this floor again share access to a hall bath, with one of these rooms featuring a king bed. The final bedroom is the bunk room, complete with two twin-over-twin bunk beds. The sliding door in this room has been converted to function as a window only, so you don’t need to worry about little ones escaping to the deck without supervision.

On the ground level, the private pool provides a welcome spot to cool off without the need to navigate rolling waves. Totally fenced, the pool area is complete with comfortable lounge chairs and a stone fire pit. A hammock waits just outside the gates, strung between pilings under the shade of the home. The shared public beach access one home to the west is conveniently reached via the street side of the home, but please note that the beach cannot be directly accessed from the pool area. Feeling hungry? Several eateries sit within simple walking distance of this home, including oceanfront dining options.

Take a break from the turbulent, stormy seas of everyday life and let Lighthouse shepherd your family to a well-deserved respite in handsome Oak Island today!

Tricks and tips to get the best Oak Island rental home experience:

When to visit Oak Island & When to book:

• Summer months are the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To get the best value, try shifting your family's Cape Fear area vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warm temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
