Conveniently located near the Middleton Park complex, Watts Nest is the ideal landing point for your next Oak Island vacation! Featuring an elevator for ease of access, your entire family can relax and recharge in the open-concept living space flooded with natural light or appreciate vistas of the rolling Atlantic from the front porch of this new-construction home finished in fall of 2023. And when you're ready to hit the beach, a walk of less than 500 feet takes you from your doorstep to the ideal spot to set up your blanket on the sand.

Cuddle on the couch and loveseat with appreciated ones as you stream the big game or a favorite movie on the flat screen TV. The modern eat-in kitchen has everything you need to prepare the catch of the day or traditional family recipes. The wooden dining table seats six comfortably, and an additional four barstools are available at the breakfast bar. The property also provides a high chair and a Pack and Play travel crib for little ones.

Just down the hall, a half bath is supplied for your convenience. The laundry closet is just opposite, where a full-sized washer and dryer make dealing with sandy towels and wet bathing suits before heading home a breeze. On either side of this hallway, you'll find two bedrooms connected by a Jack and Jill bath. All four bedrooms have their own TV, accepting you to stream the personal entertainment of your choice with ease before settling down for the evening.

To the west, the front bedroom is furnished with a queen bed, and the bath features a standard tub/shower combo and double sinks, each with plenty of counter space. The back bedroom has a twin-over-double bunk bed and direct access to the back covered porch. To the east, the front bedroom also features a queen bed. While this bath has the same double sink and countertops as the west side, a low-step in shower with constructed-in shower seats and a grab bar is included instead. This connects to the back bedroom with a pair of twin beds and its own direct deck access. If additional sleeping space is needed, the couch in the living room pulls out to a queen bed.

Outside, you're sure to spend hours on the covered front porch with plenty of seating appreciating the ocean breeze and vistas of whitecaps on the horizon. Walk three homes over and across the street for the closest beach access, and you'll arrive on the sand in moments. Stroll a block or two to the west to take in craft festivals or open-air concerts at Middleton Park, where you'll also find a seasonal splash pad and an accessible playground for the younger kids.

Oak Island rental home tips and tricks:

How to get the best value:

• Summertime is high season in Oak Island. To find the best value, consider changing your family's Cape Fear area vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warmer temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines contain money saving offers on local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• First and foremost, have your family choose vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration you need. Watts Nest: Ocean View with Elevator, Close to Beach and Splash Pad! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the property owner before reserving the rental. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or applied to your invoice.

Tips for a wonderful stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your smartphone.
• Make a record of any damages to the property at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, television set or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent lots of issues.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all personal items. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a fantastic vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
