This bright & airy 3 Bed/2 Full Bath condo is in the only condo building located on the quieter less congested west end of Oak Island, and with just 15 condo units offers a more peaceful experience. As an end unit condo, it has added privacy along with windows on 3 of 4 sides, plus 2 sets of huge sliding glass doors for tons of natural light & ocean vistas! Since OKI is a South-facing beach, we get magnificant photo worthy sunsets & sunrises, both over the water.

This completely refreshed condo includes a new kitchen with all stainless steel appliances, Quartz countertops throughout, recessed lighting, ceiling fans & vinyl plank floor. There is complimentary on-site parking (3 Spaces) and community picnic bench. When you return from your walk across the street from the beach, wash off that salt & sand at the Outdoor Shower.

The kitchen is entirely supplied to prepare all your delicious meals including Drip Coffee Maker (single serve & pot), Hot Water Kettle, Blender, Bagel-Sized Toaster, Electric Griddle & Crock Pot. The sizable countertop with island is great for additional prep & serving space. The window in the kitchen overlooks the Intracoastal Waterway which is within walking distance! The living area, with plenty of comfortable seating, has a enormous screen TV with extended cable and HBO, plus HDMI ports for Roku/Fire TV etc. The huge coffee table is ideal for playing games & assembling puzzles.

This charming location is convenient for the beach, walking, fishing, boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, cycling, running, birdwatching or simply relaxing.

Oak Island's groceries, shopping, 2 piers, splash pad, skateboard park, craft fairs, eateries, bars, live music & outdoor concerts with Food Trucks are under 5 miles away.

Tips to get the best vacation rental experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• Summer time is high season in the Cape Fear area area. Booking your vacation rental in the Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• In the Cape Fear area area, The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your rental home 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Some owners offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area area magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines contain coupons for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

How to select the best rental home in Oak Island:

• Select a group leader, select your vacation dates, and choose a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration you need. 2nd Row • Ocean Views • Renovated Interior • Dog-Friendly • 2-min Walk To Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the property manager before booking your home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or costs may be applied to your invoice.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Add the owner's contact information to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your family's visit, make note of any problem areas when you arrive. E-mail the property manager immediately to record your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers bothering your peace and quiet. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and places you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let thieves ruin your holiday.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean 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 excellent vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
