Three FSTV's with streaming capabilities, phone, DVD player, cd player and wireless internet access. Centrally located and close to both island bridges, this bright and cheerful bungalow only four rows back from the water is waiting to welcome you and up to two dogs per stay for a calming oceanside holiday. With a split floor plan featuring two bedrooms and a shared hall bath on either side of the open concept living area, this is an ideal beach home for two families to share and appreciate together.

The refreshed kitchen includes multiple new major kitchen appliances, Quartz countertops and backsplash and freshly painted cabinets with plenty of storage for your items. The rest of the home has also been freshly updated throughout with new floor, washer/dryer, couches and comforters.

The inviting features continue outside, where you’ll find an broad covered back porch with plenty of seating (including lounge chairs and a rocker), a gate to help keep little ones corralled and a view that includes glimpses of the water. There is also an open front deck with additional furnishings. Dine al Fresca at the picnic table underneath the home and then savor the breeze with a drink in hand while lazily swaying on the porch swing. The driveway provides ample parking for your entire group.

A short walk of fewer than 900 feet takes you from the driveway to the sand where you’ll lay your blanket, and a enormous outdoor cooler with wheels is supplied and stored in an outdoor closet to help get your things to the beach. A cavernous enclosed outside shower with hot and cold water as well as a changing area make cleaning up after returning from the beach a breeze.

As an added additional, the spectacular walkway over the Davis Canal at 29th St is even closer than the beach and provides a excellent opportunity to view the island’s wildlife, including foxes, herons and other shorebirds, deer and more. This walkway also provides painless access to the Oak Island Rec Center, where kayaks can be rented to discover the island's waterways. You're also only a two-min. drive from Heron Lookout Park on 40th Street.

Strategies to get the very best vacation home experience:

How to get the best value:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Cape Fear area area. Book your Cape Fear area vacation home in Spring or Fall to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. 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 and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• The earlier your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved early. Reserving your rental home six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Hosts sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area area magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines contain coupons for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Select vacation week and max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Pelican Palace: Beachwalk Home Centrally Located on Oak Island has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is generally accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the property management company before you reserve your rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Does your family require unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask your host about your furry family members before booking.

Tips for your stay:

• Get the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your .
• Make a record of any damages to the property during check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if a dispute is filed.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers disrupting your peaceful home life. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Keep your property safe!
• On check-out day, complete a final walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a great time? Most rental websites make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
