Come appreciate the coastal lifestyle at its best on OKI! This freshly refreshed 3 bedroom, 2 bath home is located on a peaceful street of Oak Island.

Just two streets over from direct beach access via Middleton Avenue and only steps away from impressive Yacht Drive, ideal for those peaceful morning strolls out to Veterans Park which is a great place to go fishing or savor your morning coffee on one of the swings and watch the fishing boats go by.

After a day of fun at the beach come home and relax on the broad screened-in front porch. Waste away a lazy afternoon in the hammock with your favorite book or just sit a spell on the porch swing and take in the ocean breeze. The smell of Jasmine in the air is enchanting during the spring months and gazing at the starlit ocean sky from the front porch is a favorite way to spend those lazy summer evenings. At nighttime, when all is peaceful on the island, it’s a special treat to rock on the front porch and listen to the calming ocean waves in the distance.

Tips to get the best Cape Fear area rental experience:

When to visit Oak Island & When to book:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are high season in the Cape Fear area area. Book your rental property in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies typically offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area travel guides that include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Begin by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Relaxing coastal cottage- Convenient to the Beach, Screened in Porch has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible online. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before booking the home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to determine what is best for your group.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or charges might be applied to your contract.
• If there's an individual Cape Fear area destination you simply love, browse rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking

More considerations:

• Get the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let burglars spoil your trip.
• At Check-in, note any damages to the property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers disrupting your peaceful home. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• At departure, complete a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental one final time and scan for damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a excellent vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
