This handsome, cozy beach bungalow is located two mins. from Middleton Drive, which has painless beach access in both directions. There is also a walkover at SE 9th Street worth exploring. Packed full of character, this beach bungalow feels like a home away from home as it sits tucked away amongst the trees.

The living room is furnished with a adore chair and two recliners. This area also has a wooden China cabinet, which may transport some guests back to grandmother’s home. The flat screen T.V. rests on the matching wooden TV stand in the living room, where your family and friends can gather for leisure and fun. Along the vaulted ceiling hangs a ceiling fan to offer a cool breeze on hot, summer days.

To the left of the living room is the hallway, where you'll find the laundry closet on the right. The first guest bedroom has a queen-sized bed, comfortable for calming after a long day at the beach or strolling around the island. This room is ideal for reading a book or just to get away from it all.

The second guest bedroom is located down this same hallway to the left. This room has two twin-sized beds. This room has a vintage yet inviting feeling that welcomes you as soon as you walk in. This is the ideal area to wind down and listen to the natural world outside.

Across from the hallway of the second guest bedroom is a delightfully decorated full bathroom with a shower.

The dining area sits adjacent to the living room, with seating for seven. Feast on your favorite island dish all while planning your next adventure on the island.

The kitchen is beside the dining area. Equipped with a stainless-steel refrigerator, stove, dishwasher and microwave, this traditional kitchen is made for a family gathering. With its granite countertops and light wooden cabinetry, this area suits guests well.

Aside from the dining area is the master bedroom with a king-sized bed. This primary bedroom has a flat-screen TV that sits on a TV stand to watch your favorite shows. Inside the bedroom is the master bathroom that has a shower. This section of the home seeks seclusion and calmness.

The fenced backyard makes this gorgeous home one of a kind. Charming trees surround you as you savor your family and friends on the outside patio. Gather around the firepit on the patio, which seats eight, or grille your favorite meal. Use the outdoor shower to rinse off after a hot day at the beach. There is also outside storage for any beach toys or additional vacation essentials you may need stored away.

Tips to get the best vacation home experience:

Sticking to your rental budget:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in Oak Island. Reserve your vacation in the Fall or Spring to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. 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? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites usually offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area visitor guides which will include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Start by having your group commit to trip dates and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Ruff Life: Bungalow with Easy Beach Access has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally available online. If not, email the property manager before you book the property. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must book a property that allows animals. Get information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Have a great stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Save the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many issues.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Record any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if there is a dispute.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Upon check-out, take a walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on great feedback to propel new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience find their best rental home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
