Whether your ideal coastal vacation involves sunbathing on the beach, swimming in the surf, fishing for your next big catch, exploring peaceful waterways by kayak or all of the above and more, Blu Malibu serves up the ultimate home base for all your island adventures. Located on a peaceful stretch of Oak Island’s West Beach, this oceanfront home is only a 3-min. walk from the Davis Canal boat ramp, where you can comfortably load a boat, kayak or canoe into the quieter waters of Montgomery Slough.

Bright white walls and blue accents greet you as you enter into the open-concept living space on the main floor, and wooden beams draw the eye forward to the horizon and elegant vistas of the Atlantic. Settle on the roomy sectional to stream your favorite show or catch the big game thanks to the cable package. The sturdy wooden dining table seats at least six comfortably, with bench seating along one side accepting for additional space. There are also an additional four seats available at the adjacent breakfast bar. The kitchen is entirely equipped with everything you need to prepare during your stay and offers plenty of counterspace for meal preparation.

When it’s time to retire for the nighttime, each bedroom has its own TV for personal entertainment, and ceiling fans for comfort. On the east side of the bungalow, the oceanfront bedroom is furnished with a queen bed and a twin. A Jack and Jill bathroom connects through to a bedroom with a king bed. To the west, the oceanfront bedroom provides a queen bed and connects via a second Jack and Jill bathroom to another bedroom with both a queen and a twin bed. The final bedroom is located on the ground level and is accessible via an external staircase only. Here, you’ll find a queen bed and an attached private bathroom with a step-in shower stall. The ground level also provides a second full size refrigerator and microwave, along with a washer and dryer.

Under the home, an enclosed shower with hot and cold water makes rinsing the sand off before heading inside a breeze, and you’ll also find protected storage space for your beach equipment. Gaze at the horizon as you sway in the porch swing located in this shady space, which also provides a charcoal grille and picnic table for cooking out and additional seating for calming. Above, the open deck offers plenty of space to soak in the sun’s rays, and the forward crow’s nest with constructed-in bench seating is the ideal spot to keep an eye on the kids while staying out of the sand. Or getaway to the generous screened porch, kick back in an Adirondack chair and take a nap in the fresh sea air instead. Sip your morning coffee or late afternoon beverage as you watch the sunlight reflect on the waves. No matter the season, your family will appreciate making lifelong memories at Blu Malibu.

How to find the best Oak Island vacation rental experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Summer time is high season in Oak Island. To find the best value, consider shifting your family's Cape Fear area vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer great weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• The earlier you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved very early. Booking your vacation rental six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides contain money saving offers on local accommodations and attractions.

How to pick the best vacation home in Oak Island:

• Begin by selecting a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Blu Malibu: 5 Bed/3 Bath Oceanfront Home, Walking Distance to Davis Canal. has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, email the host before you reserve the property. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some don't. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask your host about pet restrictions before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

• Get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Record any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if damages are assessed.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent lots of concerns.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
