As this home is only an estimated two-min. walk to the beach, it's a Shore Thing that you'll appreciate how convenient this rental is to the shores of the Atlantic. Located on Dolphin Drive, this third-row home's location is a happy mix of a coastal hideaway and a welcoming neighborhood. Savor riding bicycles on the peaceful street during a sunny afternoon or listening to the sound of birds and ocean waves as you sip your morning coffee on the covered porch.

This home has a fenced-in yard, so your kids can play with the safety and privacy of a border. Take the whole family and appreciate a meal cooked on the grille on the outdoor picnic table or take a dip in the private pool on those hot summer days. There is an outdoor shower to rinse off after the beach before you hop on the elevator and go up to your room!

The living room contains plenty of comfortable seating for the whole crew. Plenty of natural light ensures a bright and airy feel. The dining room table seats eight and overlooks the water, so you can watch the pelicans soar across the shoreline during mealtimes. There are four additional seats at the bar in the kitchen, which includes all the cooking basics you need for your stay.

There is one king bed and en-suite bath on the upstairs. Downstairs guests will find three bedrooms, including two king beds, one twin over double bunk bed and a twin with a twin trundle. Each bedroom has a TV so guests can split up to watch their favorite shows or movies.

This rental is close to many local stores and eateries. It is a four-min. walk to the Ocean Crest Fishing Pier and Island Way, a delightful oceanfront restaurant just beside the pier. Take a short walk to the Sea Biscuit Wildlife Center to watch their striking volunteers rehabilitate our beach birds. There's tons to adore at Shore Thing!

Booking the best Oak Island vacation property experience:

Finding your perfect rental home:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in Oak Island. To find the largest vacation home within budget, we highly recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at Cape Fear area restaurants, tours, and activities. 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.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area visitor guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Choosing and booking a perfect Cape Fear area rental:

• Select a designated group leader, choose your vacation week, and choose a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Shore Thing: Home with Ocean and Marsh Views, Private pool and Elevator has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property management company before you book the rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to establish what bed configuration is suitable for your group.
• If your group is traveling with pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking

Advice for a great stay:

• Store the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent quite a few difficulties.
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let burglars spoil your family vacation.
• To make certain that no damages are attributed to your family's stay, inspect for any problem areas when you arrive. Contact the rental manager right away to document your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected everything. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, remember to take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a great time? Many rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
