Our bungalow has been listed 1 year by Vacation Rental By Owner

Avoid the check-in / check-out chaos on Saturdays. Peak season units are from Sunday to Sunday.

Linens are supplied and the beds are made, waiting for you to get here! The bungalow is supplied with the necessities such as beach chairs (at least 4), a corn hole board, some kids' toys, and even a spice cabinet for your convenience to complement your stay.

All kitchen appliances (except the microwave) were replaced in March of 2024. The HVAC system was replaced in December 2024. The refrigerator even has a dual-capacity ice maker.

Majestic vistas of the Atlantic Ocean! Sip on your favorite morning drink and watch the sunrise. In the winter, you could watch the sunrise and the sunset from the ocean-side deck! Of course, you could take a few steps down the boardwalk to the beach and have solitude during the sunrises and sunsets.

Keep the lights off and stargaze at nighttime. Have you ever used the "SkyVue" app on your phone?

Have a modest sailboat or catamaran? Unload/Load once near the pier and leave it between the dunes and the boardwalk during the nighttime while you stay there!

The beach is wide during low tide which provides great opportunities for shelling, walking, or running the beach. And a shower is just a few steps away to rinse off when you get back.

Being that this location is one of the less populated areas of the beach, there is minimal competition to get the ideal location on the surf to set up your "stuff" on the beach.
A great place for games on the beach. When it comes time to get off the beach for the day, all that stuff can be left inside the dunes and near the steps to the boardwalk without bringing it back to the home. Setups can't be any easier!

Do the kids want to putt-putt? Go get ice cream? Go to the pier? It's a short walk to those destinations. A golf cart is not needed.

Want to stay at home and not go out to eat? Downstairs is set up with gas and charcoal grilles and a great place to appreciate happy hours as meals are prepared. We also have a propane burner and a big pot for shrimp boils. It is also a great place to play games (corn hole) if it's raining.

The outside shower is cavernous and private.

Giant living area, 4 bedrooms / 2 baths upstairs. 2 bedrooms / 1 bath downstairs. Sleeps, 13 people. We call one of the downstairs bedrooms the honeymoon suite - this bedroom makes it possible to get away from some of the hustle and bustle if you're there with a bigger crowd.

Decks are on the front and rear of the bungalow. The ocean side decks have gates to keep what's on the decks (kids and family pets) on the decks.

A washer and dryer are supplied downstairs in the storage room.

Ample parking for 7 to 8 cars.

You will receive additional correspondence from me with more info a few weeks before your scheduled arrival. I will send it to your e-mail address.

NOTE: There is a $100 Administrative Fee (per booking) added to the price for renting our bungalow. If you report to the owner (by e-mail, text, or phone call) that you DID NOT bring pets, the $100 administrative fee will be refunded to you after your stay.

Getting the best Ocean Isle Beach vacation rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Summertime is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To find the best value, try shifting your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitors guide magazines which often include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Selecting the perfect vacation home in the Cape Fear area area:

• First, have your family commit to trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Dog-Friendly, No-Smoking, Ocean Front Cottage, Center of the Island has 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the host before reserving the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to determine what bed configuration is right for your group.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or charges applied to your contract.

More considerations for your visit:

• Get the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• Upon arrival, record any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an incredible source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental while you're out and about. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a excellent vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
