Isn’t it high time that you savor a little Beach Treat? Gather the family and check in at this coastal-chic bungalow located just three rows back from the ocean and in walking distance of Ocean Crest Fishing Pier.

Settle in the living room to stream a favorite show together as you reflect on the day’s adventures. The open concept living space flows into the eat-in kitchen, where four or more can sit around the center island and keep the family chef company as they prepare the catch of the day or fresh local produce - everything you need to prepare meals for your crew is supplied. The round kitchen table also seats four to five people, so there’s plenty of space for everybody. Rolling barn doors close off a cavernous laundry closet with a full-sized washer and dryer.

On the east side of the home, the ocean-facing bedroom is furnished with a queen bed, and the full bathroom has a standard tub/shower combo and hall access. On the west side of the home, the second bathroom offers the same layout and is located between the remaining two bedrooms. The oceanfront room on this side also provides a queen bed, while the streetside bedroom has two twins. All bedrooms as well as the common areas offer ceiling fans for your comfort, and you’ll find wood floors throughout the home with the exception of tiled bathrooms.

Outside, the partially covered front porch offers glimpses of the Atlantic and furnishings for dining or calming and wraps around one side of the home to a generous back deck where you can soak in the sunshine. Look out over the grassy backyard, where a modest copse of trees shades an inviting seating area with a natural bench fashioned from a fallen trunk.
Under the home, a porch swing provides the ideal shady spot to sway and listen to the waves, while an enclosed outdoor shower makes rinsing off after visiting the beach fast and painless. Speaking of the beach, you’ll be on the sand in moments each day thanks to a beach access point roughly 400 feet from your front door. Centrally located on Oak Island, Beach Treat is convenient to local activities, stores and eateries, as well as the bridge leading to beautiful Southport and its many stores and historic points of interest. So whether your idea of a vacation is to taking long naps in the island breeze, exploring local landmarks or teeing up for 18 holes at one of the area's playable but challenging golf courses, you will find your island home at Beach Treat!

Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect rental home experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a Cape Fear area rental home:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Reserve your vacation home in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Many management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitor guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Filter your search:

• Begin by choosing your trip dates and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Beach Treat: Coastal Chic Home with Spacious Deck, Close to Beach Access has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area rentals search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible online. Otherwise, contact the property manager before you book your home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You'll need to work out what is best for your vacation group.
• Some rentals allow pets, but some don't. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the host about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• If there's an individual Cape Fear area destination you love, search for homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Tips for a great stay:

• Add the property manager's information to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, elevator or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent many problems.
• Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, record any problem areas during arrival. text the host immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Double-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. 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 great time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong 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.
