Oak Island
Oak Island is the ideal blend of convenient amenities and eateries, without being overrun with upsized T-shirt huts and overcrowded beaches. Selected as one of USA Today’s 51 Great American Beaches, Oak Island is one of the best kept secrets on the east coast! Only mins. from the historic town of Southport, Oak Island offers a blend of amenities and miles of open, unpopulated beach.

This family-aligned community offers a variety of activities for all interests, including:
• Great water-related activities, including fishing, swimming, kayaking on the sound side and boating.
• Several close by golf courses, or for the avid golfer, Myrtle Beach is a 45-min. drive.
• Caswell Beach is a loggerhead sea turtle sanctuary.
• Spend a day in Southport, a historic coastal community with modest town appeal that offers eateries, stores and deep-sea fishing.
• Take a ferry ride to either Fort Fisher Aquarium or to Bald Head Island.
• Wilmington (35 miles) has waterfront stores, the NC Aquarium and the North Carolina Battleship.

Getting the best Cape Fear area rental experience:

Get the best rental home value:

• The earlier you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are reserved early. Booking your vacation home up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• To find the best value, shift your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warmer weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront 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 property owner or host if your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area area magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guides have money saving offers on local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Selecting the perfect rental in Oak Island:

• Start by having your family choose trip dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Sea la Vie: Oceanfront Peace & Relaxation (Fully Renovated 2021) has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is commonly accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before booking your rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Some properties allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property manager about pet restrictions before booking.
• Is your family looking for particular amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More tips for your visit:

• Add the property manager's contact information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let thieves spoil your family vacation.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas when you arrive. E-mail the property manager immediately to record your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers disrupting your home life. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Just prior to departing, take a walk-through to make sure you have not forget anything. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a wonderful stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
