Savor the peaceful solitude of Oak Island at Heads Carolina, a new construction home finished in July of 2024. Featuring a private backyard pool getaway, modern beachy vibe and open floor plan, there’s plenty of space to gather both inside and out as you build memories to last a lifetime.

The cavernous common area is bright and inviting, with recessed lighting throughout, calming sage green and white walls and accents in warm wood and sandy neutrals. Parlor on the couch to watch a favorite move on the huge, wall-mounted flatscreen TV, or savor a hand of cards or evening meal at the sturdy dining table, which seats at least six comfortably. Four additional bar stools are available for the breakfast bar and sleek counter-height desk, an ideal perch for those who may still need to keep up with work or school while away from home. The entirely outfitted kitchen features gleaming stainless-steel appliances along with plenty of counter and storage space. A sliding barn door leads to the laundry room, where a full-sized washer and dryer are included so that sandy towels and swimsuits are ready for the next day’s adventures.

Just off the living room, the master bedroom features a king bed, a wall-mounted flatscreen TV and an attached private bath with a double vanity and step in shower. On the opposite side of the home, you’ll find the second bedroom, furnished with a queen bed and wall-mounted TV, as well as the bunk room, equipped with two twin-over-twin bunk beds. Between these two spaces is a full bathroom with a standard tub/shower combo and hall access.

Beyond the kitchen, the green of the surrounding trees beckons you out to the screened porch overlooking the pool. The ceiling fan ensures comfort even on days without a strong breeze, and furnishings for calming and dining make this a magnificent spot to spend evenings with a beverage in hand as the swimmers in your group splash below. Around the pool, you’ll find plenty more seating and a gas grille. Sway in the hammock chair and appreciate the shade below the home! The enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water is ideal for rinsing off sand after a long day at the beach. The front porch features both covered and open sections and looks out over a peaceful, tree lined neighborhood street. Appreciate your well-deserved respite with a stay at Heads Carolina!

Tips and Tricks to get the best vacation property experience:

Finding your best deal:

• Summer is the most expensive season in the Cape Fear area area. Book your Cape Fear area vacation in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area area magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guides contain money saving offers on nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to pick the best vacation rental in the Cape Fear area area:

• Start by selecting your a vacation week and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Heads Carolina: Modern Home with Private Pool in Quiet Neighborhood has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the property management company before reserving your home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• If there's a particular Cape Fear area destination you love, search for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• If your group is bringing pets, you will need a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Document any issues with the property at check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, stereo or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents lots of difficulties.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let burglars spoil your vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a fantastic time? Many rental managers make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
