If you want to walk to the beach take the spectacular walkway at the end of our street. The nature trail starts out going over a bridge "Little Davies canal", through the woods then a boardwalk over the marsh, you will come to a street and should be able to see the ocean at that point, the walk takes about 15 - 20 mins..
You can shorten the walk by parking at the recreation center and walking from there, it cuts the walk time by half.
Take a fishing rod and fish off the boardwalk on your way back from the beach for a fresh dinner.
If you have tons to carry then it's a 2 min. drive to the many access points you can park ,some are just yards from the beach next to the homes on the beach.

Vacation rental tips and tricks:

Sticking to your spending plan:

• In the Cape Fear area area, The earlier you can book, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Reserving your vacation property up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in Oak Island. To book the largest rental within your budget, we strongly suggest booking in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at popular Cape Fear area attractions and restaurants. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines contain offers and deals for local accommodations and attractions.

Narrow your Search:

• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Clean ~ beautiful setting ~ scenic walk or ride your bikes to the beach has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking websites. If not, email the property manager before booking the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to establish what configuration is suitable for your trip.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, search for a property that allows animals. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• Does your group require specific amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental

More considerations:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Record any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if there is a dispute.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all of your things. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on great feedback to inspire future reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
