-- THE PROPERTY --

Bedroom 1: Queen Bed / Bedroom 2: Queen Bed / Bedroom 3: 2 Twin Beds / Bedroom 4: Queen Bed

Located on the spectacular shores of Central Oak Island, "Windrift" offers a unique East Coast beach getaway ideal for a sizable family or group of close friends. With an open floor plan, everybody can join in the conversation or getaway to one of the 4 private bedrooms. This bungalow has a freshly updated interior, plenty of nautically themed decor, and tons of cozy furnishings to make you feel right at home!

Start your morning on a healthy note with a brisk walk or jog along the ocean! After your morning walk, relax beneath the vaulted wood beam ceiling in the living room and savor a morning cup of coffee watching the sunrise while your adored ones roll out of bed.

The well-equipped kitchen features all of the cooking essentials along with a dishwasher and disposal to make clean up a breeze! Savor your culinary creations inside at the breakfast bar or the kitchen table, or bring them outside to the picnic table on the beach deck to listen to the tide while you dine.

There's no better place for an afternoon glass of sweet tea or wine than the back deck at "Windrift". Oak Island is particularly unique because it faces south and accepts you and your travel companions to watch BOTH sunsets and sunrises! Run down to the beach for a invigorating swim and then rinse off with the private-enclosed outdoor shower before coming in for the evening.

Before you call it a nighttime, relax on the cozy living room couch and end the day by watching your favorite movie on the flat-screen TV in the living room. Make yourself comfortable on one of the 3 queen beds or the bedroom with 2 twin beds and rest up for another day in heaven!

-- THE LOCATION --

Oak Island is known for its laid-back reputation, local attractions, pier, and is ideal for families or people looking for a casual vacation. There are plenty of delicious local eateries around the island, and some local hots spots include Island Way, Swain Seafood Shack, Shagger Jacks, and Turtle Island Restaurant. It's never a boring time when you walk down to the scenic Ocean Crest Pier!

The Town of Southport is only a 13-mile drive from your door and a quintessential coastal fishing village you need to experience. Spend your time browsing through the local art galleries, antique shopping or take a shot at crabbing along the Inter Coastal Water Way. Dine along the water down at Yacht Basin, rock in one of the many chairs or swings watching the big ships pass by.

Southport also offers ferries to Fort Fisher and Bald Head Island if you want to adventure off the mainland! Bald Head Island has a lighthouse and some handsome vistas of the coast while Fort Fisher is home to the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher.

Some other options for fun include golfing at one of the local courses (Oak Island Golf Club and Lockwood Folly Country Club are great), driving south to Myrtle Beach for a day of outlet shopping, visiting Broadway at the Beach, or take a ride on the SkyWheel.

Fishermen definitely adore spending the morning casting their lines off the Ocean Crest Pier to try and reel in lunch. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for dolphins and other fish playing in the ocean while you fish!

Tricks and tips for getting the perfect Oak Island rental home experience:

When to book & When to go:

  • Reserve your vacation rental as early 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 vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
  • June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Oak Island. To get the best value, shift your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warm weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
  • Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your group qualifies for a discount.
  • Booking websites usually offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
  • Often, management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitors guides that include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to pick the best vacation rental:

  • Choose a designated group leader, select your vacation week, and select a max budget.
  • Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Oak Island Beach Front Cottage has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
  • Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the property owner before you book your rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
  • Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or may be applied to your agreement.
  • Visiting for a specific event or attraction? If so, use a map search to browse nearby properties.
  • Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

  • Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. Put the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
  • Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
  • Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let crooks spoil your vacation.
  • Record any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if a dispute arises.
  • Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent resource to find the best local beaches.
  • Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
  • Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. 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.
  • Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on good ratings to stimulate future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will appreciate that you share your review find their best vacation home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.

Based in Carolina Beach in the coastal Cape Fear region, Victory Beach Vacations has more than 100 vacation rentals in all shapes and sizes to ensure that every vacationing family can find their dream home away from home on the beach.   When you book your Cape Fear getaway with Victory Beach Vacations, the fun doesn’t end when you leave the beach, it continues with an array of privately-owned properties outfitted with all of the amenities needed for a fabulous beach vacation.   Jenna Lanier, General Manager, explains that her family first opened the rental and property management business in 2002. At the forefront of Victory Beach operations is Lanier’s mother, Caroline Meeks. Meeks is both the Broker in Charge and co-owner with husband, Buck Meeks, who manages the Field Services team with Lanier’s husband, Scott.   For nearly 20 years, the Victory Beach team has worked tirelessly to establish a network of top-of-the-line rental properties for Cape Fear visitors to enjoy. “As far as our properties go,” explains Lanier, “they are all updated, well-furnished and appointed. “We have always performed post-cleaning inspections and since the pandemic, have put freshly laundered duvets over all of the comforters between rentals.”   Lanier emphasizes how important the guests experience is “we strive to give our guests a relaxing, stress free, memorable vacation.” This emphasis on customer service has led to Victory Beach Vacations having a 4.8 Google rating with over 300 reviews by happy owners and guests.In addition to Victory Beach’s superior sanitation practices, the company offers properties for every type of visitor.

The former, as described by Lanier, is the more commercialized of the two destinations and features a boardwalk, outdoor dining options and a plethora of weekly activities including fireworks, live music, amusement park pop-ups, and movies under the stars. Kure Beach offers a more residential feel with its fishing pier, intimate restaurants and family favorite, North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher.More water fun awaits, too. “There is a harbor and a canal that feed into the intercoastal. We have several properties on the harbor so guests can bring their boat, kayak, [or jet ski] and travel between islands,” says Lanier.   A stay with Victory Beach Vacations is an annual pilgrimage for most. “A large percentage of guests are previous guests. Some even reserve the same property for the next year as they’re checking out,” Lanier says. “It’s almost like it’s their personal vacation home.”   Even before guests arrive at their vacation destination, the Victory Beach Vacations’ website greets them with a live beach cam and exquisite aerial footage of both Carolina and Kure Beaches.
