The middle bedroom provides a queen bed, while the front room is furnished with a twin bed and a twin trundle. This room also contains a wall-mounted intelligent TV for personal entertainment and a modest desk in case homework still needs attending to during your visit.

On the ground floor, the inviting lower level entrance leads you into a entryway and the sheltered access for the home's private elevator. The final bedroom is furnished with a queen bed and is located on this level, along with an additional living space and huge kitchenette with a full sized refrigerator! Just off the entryway, the lounge room contains a round kitchen table that seats four as well as a couch and a large intelligent TV mounted over a second electric fireplace.

Outside, a comfortable patio area under the home is located within the fenced backyard and is furnished with a sectional and dining-height table, along with additional bench seating. Food and drink prepared in the kitchenette can be conveniently delivered directly to this area via a pass-through window with a roll up metal shutter.

Above this space, you'll find a comfortable grouping of patio furnishings on the screened back deck, a protected perch where you can savor an evening drink while keeping an eye on the kids playing below. The covered front porch offers a pair of classic rocking chairs and a shady respite where you can watch the world go by - on island time, of course! When you're ready to hit the beach, hop in your car for a fast drive over to the nearest public beach access. Or rent the property's optional golf cart (golf cart costs are in addition to rent) for your stay and keep the sand at the beach rather than tracking it home. Book your stay Down By The Sea today!

Rental home booking tips and tricks:

Getting the best rental value:

• In the Cape Fear area area, The sooner your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved very early. Reserving your rental home six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• June, July, and August are high season in Oak Island. Booking a rental in the Fall or Spring is a good way to save on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.

Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.

• Go through the property a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, remember to take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.

If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
