Please note that currently we have experienced flood damage and that the game room is no longer available and the entry, entry and hallway have been impacted. I currently do not have the variety of games and other outdoor activities / supplies due to flooding. The home is still available and the units themselves were not impacted. However, if you choose to rent, please understand that there will be some areas that are not finished, construction may be present (but I will communicate that with you), and that the handrail for the first set of steps is missing due to the lack of drywall at this time.


2 bedroom and 2 bath home with Ocean Vistas. Fabulous location within painless walking distance to the beach, Publix, stores, splash pad, the park and eateries. Some of our favorites are the BBQ home, OKI Coffee Shop, OKI Scoop Shop and 49th Street Bar and Grille. We are located one block from a public beach access. We have everything you could need in one spot! You are also within walking distance of the Oak Island summer activities such as bands, movies in the park, the new skate park and splash pad.

Another benefit is complimentary parking! Starting April 1st, the town will be charging $20 per day for beach parking. This home gives you beach access without any additional costs since you are just steps away from the ocean.


If you want the best vistas, rent this section of the home! You can also contact me for a discounted rate for both levels, giving you 5 bedrooms, 5 baths, room to sleep 24 people, 2 completely supplied kitchens, 2 living areas, and 2 private decks.

We decided to give a nod to one of our favorite college teams, the Appalachian State University Mountaineers, and bring our mountain appreciate a little closer to the ocean. The name of our home is "NEER the SeA", with the "A" in traditional AppState fashion. Both of my parents are from Boone, and both attended AppState. My Mother was a humongous AppState fan and a lover of Oak Island, so my son and I decided that the name of the home was the ideal tribute to her and her legacy.

Tips and Tricks to get the optimal vacation home experience:

Getting the most from your spending budget:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Booking in Spring or Fall is a good way to save money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area travel guide magazines which will include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Finding the best vacation rental in the Cape Fear area area:

• Choose a group leader, select your trip dates, and select a budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family requires. Ocean Views, Brand NEW, < 2-minute walk to Beach, Great Location! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & 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 listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the host about your furry family members before booking.
• If there's an individual Cape Fear area attraction you long to visit, look for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

Some things to know before you go:

• Add the owner's contact information to your phone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, television set or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of concerns.
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• Record any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if there is a dispute.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be an excellent resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently 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 crabbing?
• Just prior to departing, take a walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent ratings to inspire new reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your feedback find their best rental home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
