Revel in the ideal combination of togetherness and private space at this striking duplex, ideal for two modest families visiting together. A rare find on Oak Island, this ocean view home has identical floor plans on both levels connected by an exterior staircase. Guests can even bring fido along for a true family vacation. With simple beach access just a few homes over, this hidden gem is just waiting to be discovered.

Each level of this home features an open concept living space accepting for roomy bungalow living. Both living rooms are brightly lit with appealing beach décor and comfortable seating, each furnished with one of the two double-sized sleepers couches along with a flatscreen TV for family movie nights. If game nighttime is more your speed, a sizable coffee table stands ready with more than enough space for you to monopolize.

In each kitchen area you’ll find granite granite counter tops and stainless-steel appliances, a modern space designed for cooking modest family meals and appreciating peaceful moments. Barstool seating for four is included to gather around the center island at the end of an eventful day to savor drinks, snacks and conversation.

Right off the eat-in area on each level you’ll find a full bathroom, which includes a full-sized tub/shower combo. Closest to the bathroom there is a guest bedroom with a double sized bed. A TV is supplied in each of these bedrooms, so the kiddos can still drift off to their favorite movie while the game is on in the living room. This room also includes the washer and dryer inside of the utility closet.

As the final interior space, the front bedroom of each floor provides a calming respite, where you can drift off to sleep to the sounds of waves crashing just across the road. These clean and simply decorated sleeping quarters with a subtle nautical theme feature an inviting king-sized bed and their own flat screen TV for leisure time.

Outside, you’ll find a modest patio space on the ground floor with three Adirondack chairs and a table that begs to be adored in the morning sunshine with a cup of coffee. You’ll also find an enclosed outdoor shower, a lifesaver on a beach trip involving modest kids or dogs. The gravel parking pad in front of the home provides plenty of space to park at least four cars.

Adore the space, but too much home for your group? While this listing is for the entire home, each floor of Coastal Cottage may also be rented individually. Check out the listings for Coastal Cottage Up and Coastal Cottage Down for more information.

Rental booking tips:

Cost saving strategies:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Cape Fear area area. To get the largest rental home for your budget, we recommend reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. 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 friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the 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 evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have money saving offers on nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Selecting and booking your prefectrental:

• Select dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Coastal Cottage Whole House: Unique Floor Plan Provides Privacy For Two Groups T has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking websites. If not, call the property manager before booking your rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to establish which bed configuration is best for your family.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.
• Are you bringing the family pet? 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. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or applied to your agreement.

Considerations for your stay:

• Store the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of problems.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be an incredible source for finding the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a great vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
