This home is in the charming Tranquil Harbor area of Oak Island, located in a peaceful spot where you can often hear the soft sounds of the surf off in the distance at high tide.

The home is just 0.2 mile to Middleton Park. There is a splash park for the kids, a enormous playground area, ice cream and doughnut stores, pizza and sandwiches, eateries, and Publix grocery store.

Getting the best Cape Fear area rental home experience:

When to visit Oak Island & When to book:

• The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked early. Reserving your vacation rental up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Summertime is high season in the Cape Fear area area. To find the best value, change your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers typically offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area area magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines have deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Planning and picking yourrental home:

• First, have your group commit to date ranges and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Xanadu Oak Island - New Dog-Friendly Home in the Middle of it All has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area vacation rental search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible on booking websites. If not, contact the property manager before reserving the vacation home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or charges could be applied to your invoice.
• If there's a specific Cape Fear area attraction you long to visit, look for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental

More considerations:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your .
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, stereo or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let thieves ruin your holiday.
• During check-in, document any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a great source for finding the best local beaches.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• At departure, take a final walk-through to make sure you have not forget any personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, remember to take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a terrific time? Many rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
