You will find an open floor plan and plenty of light. The simple but comfortable living room couches invite you to sit down for a while. Unwind under the cooling breezes of the palm-bladed ceiling fan. Pick up and read one of the books on the North Carolina coast.

In the spotless kitchen, you will find refreshed lighting and a ceramic tiled floor. The cupboards are packed full of dishes, cookware, modest appliances, and glasses. As we appreciate to prepare you will find everything is included for you to prepare delicious vacation meals.

Open the sliding glass doors and walk into the pleasing screened porch.

The porch offers vistas of the sand garden and planted flowering beds with handmade ceramic sculptures. On the concrete patio, you will find a dining table to savor meals al fresco. An outdoor shower fed from the garden hose is available for a fast rinse of the ocean water.

Back inside walk down the hallway where the laundry room sits behind folding doors. The primary bedroom is light and airy with modern design furnishings. The queen-size bed is comfortable and ensures a restful nighttime's sleep, dreaming of waves and sand. Off the primary bedroom is the ensuite bath; it is well lit, clean, and fresh. Two simple twin beds are in the second bedroom with wall-mounted reading lights overhead. A modern maple dresser and mirror complete the room. The second bathroom is simple and clean with a tiled floor. All linens are supplied for your stay including two sets of bath towels for each guest. Cleaning supplies are also included for your use.

Oak Island rental home booking tips and tricks:

Finding your perfect rental:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Booking your vacation home in Fall or Spring months is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies frequently offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides contain coupons for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Make a plan and pick your prefectvacation home:

• To start, have your group agree to the best dates and a budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Perfect Little Beach Cottage for your stay on Oak Island has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the property owner before you reserve your rental. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental

More tips for your visit:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent a lot of problems.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if a dispute is filed.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a fantastic time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
