Gather in the comfortable living room to watch a family movie while you lounge on the couch or sink into the upsized recliner with a good beach read. A modest wooden dining table tucked against the wall seats four, with an additional four barstools available at the close by kitchen island. The kitchen itself is supplied with everything you need to prepare dinner for your gang, whether you caught fresh fish yourself or purchased some from one of the local markets!

In addition to the TV in the living room, all three bedrooms also feature their own TV for personal entertainment via streaming services, and digital antennas allow for local channels on all but one of the TVs. The master bedroom is furnished with a king bed and has an attached private bathroom. The secondary bedroom provides a queen bed, and the final bedroom has a double bed. These two rooms share a full standard bathroom with hall access. You'll also find a convenient laundry room with a full sized washer and dryer so that you take less sand home at the end of your stay.

Soak in the sultry ocean breezes from the front and back decks, both with ample furnishings for calming outside. The grassy backyard will be appreciated by kids and fur-babies alike, and Mom and Dad will appreciate the enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water that makes cleaning up after a day on the beach a breeze! On days you prefer to prepare outside, you'll find a charcoal grille supplied for your use.

When it is time to hit the sand, you'll find tons of beach equipment available for your use, from umbrellas, chairs and toys all the way to a beach cart to haul it all in. Plus, your location in the very heart of East Beach, midway between the Ocean Crest Fishing Pier and the Middleton Park Complex, makes a ideal launching point to discover everything Oak Island has to offer. Book your stay at Capt Roy's today!

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Cape Fear area vacation property experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To get the best value, shift your family's Cape Fear area vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the 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 friends and family at the beach.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies frequently offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides have money saving offers on nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

How to select the perfect vacation rental in the Cape Fear area area:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. Capt Roy's: Captain Roy's: Charming Dog-Friendly Third Row Cottage has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available on booking websites. If not, contact the host before you book the home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must book a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Tips to have a smooth stay:

• Get the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are out, just like you would back home.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your family's stay, record any problem areas upon your arrival. Make contact with the rental manager immediately to report your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your peaceful home. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• On check-out day, complete a walk-through to make sure you have not forget any personal items. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a wonderful time? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
