3 Bedroom (one bedroom is the loft) with Private HEATED Pool (no additional fee April-October for heated pool like most units), Pool Table, Ping Pong Table, Tiki Bar, Air Hockey, Foose Ball, On the Water

The 54 Richmond Street bungalow is a astounding, professionally landscaped beach vacation destination with a private swimming pool in back yard (not under the home). The bungalow includes a private 20x8 foot dock with ladder on deep cement canal available for boating and swimming. The entirely enclosed underneath of this bungalow features the following striking vacation amenities:

Underneath the home:
1) a professional-sized pool table
2) a professional-sized ping pong table
3) a bar area that opens to the back deck
4) a bathroom
5) two TV's
6) a gas grille
7) a refrigerator/freezer
8) stairs leading up into the main level of the bungalow.
9) Air Hockey Table
10) Foose Ball Table
11) Fishing rods to use off dock or beach. Technically, if 16 or older, you need a NC Saltwater fishing license. However, it is not likely you will be checked on the dock or the beach. If in a boat, very likely you will be stopped and EVERYONE on the boat will need a fishing license if ONE rod is on the boat, no exceptions from the game warden)
12. Enclosed hot water outdoor shower. Please wash off after trips to the beach before getting into the poor or home.

The main level of the bungalow features three bedrooms (the loft is counted as one of the bedrooms), two full baths, three TV’s, washer, dryer, loft, sizable great room, covered front and back porches, and more – all porches painted in 2018 and the front porch was repainted in 2021. The property originally was constructed with an additional bedroom that has been knocked out to create a bigger sitting area.

This bungalow is appealingly located on a cement canal 1 lot away from the corner at the end of Richmond Street - safe for kids to play in the street as there is not much traffic. Fishing is generally better at the end of streets as you can cast into the Richmond Street Canal or the Main canal running along Craven Street from the dock.

The 54 Richmond Street bungalow is on the right side of the street; at Ocean Isle this puts the hot afternoon sun on the front of the home keeping the back yard mostly in the shade after 1 pm, which is ideal for grilling, swimming, and playing.


Two full baths on main level of bungalow, and half bath underneath bungalow and a enclosed hot water shower outside.

Fridge/Freezer upstairs, and another refrigerator/freezer are supplied underneath bungalow.

No Extra Charge for Heated Pool April-October. We can talk about heating the pool based on the weather in March and November, so please ask. I keep the pool at 85. Industry standard is 80 to 83 with a max recommended from the health department is 84 to 85. Guest are not allowed to adjust the pool temp, but I will have someone lower the temp if desired (not likely this will be wanted). I have the biggest heater made for a pool (it will heat a pool well over 10 times the size at the property), but if booking in early April, or late October there is no guarantee the heater can keep up if the weather is abnormally cold.

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Cape Fear area rental home experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• Reserve your vacation home 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 vacation rentals during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Cape Fear area area. Book your Cape Fear area rental property in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your group qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have money saving offers on nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation dates, and select a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Ocean Isle Beach, NC Cement Canal Lot With HEATED Private Pool has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property manager before you reserve your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property manager about your furry family members before booking.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking

More tips for your visit:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your phone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of concerns.
• Lock your rental while you're out and about. Protect your property!
• Make a record of any damages to the property at check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be beneficial if a dispute is filed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers disrupting your peaceful home. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Upon check-out, take a walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on great feedback to compel more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will will be grateful for your review find their best vacation rental. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
