Welcome to the Ibis Cottage, a comfortable home located in the heart of Oak Island. Located on the beach side, you can have your toes in the sand within a 3-min. walk, or take a walk over to 49th Street Restaurant for dinner and drinks. Located blocks away from Publix Grocery and Middleton Park, you are close to all the action but not too close. Take full advantage of the calming and cavernous covered front porch to appreciate the handsome outdoors or discover the island on one of four beach cruisers.

Freshly constructed and furnished in 2021, the Ibis Cottage features coastal décor with wood accents and neutral tones. With a striking open concept, the main floor offers an abundance of natural light with vaulted ceilings. The entirely equipped kitchen is completely open to the dining room, which accommodates up to six adults for a seated meal together. Prefer to dine outdoors? Set the outside dining table for dinner instead, conveniently located just off the kitchen under the screened back porch. In the kitchen, you will be pleasantly greeted with all stainless steel appliances and plenty of counter space. The living room is roomy and comfortably furnished for hanging out with family and friends. The focal point of this space is the 65” Samsung flat-screen TV. A guest bath can be found between the living room and guest bedrooms.

All three bedrooms are on the main floor of this home; the master suite with king bed, 50” Samsung flat screen and private bath, a guest bedroom with two twin beds (one with trundle) and 40" flat screen TV, and an additional guest bedroom with queen bed and 40” flat screen TV. Unwind and take in the serene setting of live oak treetops and blue sky from the interior living and outdoor decks. The Master bedroom has shared access to the back deck through sliding glass doors.

With so much outdoor space, plan to prepare out on the simple-to-use gas grille, or grab your favorite book and relax in the hammock under the shaded deck and live oaks.

Once settled in, the Ibis Cottage really becomes a home away from home, but better because it’s at the beach.

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect vacation property experience:

Get the most from your vacation rental budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Book your Cape Fear area vacation in the Spring or Fall to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Booking websites typically offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local 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 visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines contain offers and deals for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Filter your search:

• Choose your dates and max budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. NEW!—IBIS COTTAGE—Beach side retreat. Prime location with Bikes and Beach gear! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before booking the home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what is right for your vacation group.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly property. Get information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Store the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Record any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent lots of issues.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental while you're out. Keep your property safe!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on great ratings to inspire future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
