Welcome to a Shore Foundation. This vacation home is the Foundation of fun times with appreciated ones by the Shore. Positioned on the 2nd row, grab the beach cart & chairs & head to the shellabration across the street. Since you have such a short walk, you don’t have to search or pay for parking. On the ground level are highlights of the property. The saltwater pool, hot tub, sectional wicker seating & bar with TV will make you want to call the cabana boy for your pina colada. From the 2 Front Decks you have an ocean view. Go ahead, check the surf. With the Ocean Crest Pier just a short drive away, you can pull up it’s web cam. Since OKI is a South facing beach, the sun rises & sets over the water. From the decks, you get photo worthy vistas. Back decks are also on 2 levels & overlook the pool activities. Drive under the covered parking & unload your bags & provisions straight into the elevator. No lugging heavy bags up the steps.

The Upper Level has the modern design of a reverse floorplan to maximize ocean vistas. It is a light & airy open plan living/dining/kitchen. The glass door & multiple huge windows give a variety of charming daytime & sunset vistas. Indoors you may choose to sit at the 8 seat dining table or at one of the 4 seats at the kitchen island. On those striking blue sky days OKI is known for, savor the outdoor table on the deck & dine alfresco. This vacation home is definitely kid friendly: Pack ’n Play, highchair, kid-sized plates/silverware & even a kid-sized table with benches next to the dining table. The living area has plenty of comfortable seating, sectional couch & upholstered chair, with a sizable screen TV to watch your favorite shows. The well-supplied kitchen includes: a Duo Keurig k-cup & drip coffee maker, griddle, Ninja blender (perhaps those pina coladas are possible after all!), Cuisinart stand mixer with all the attachments, 4 slice toaster & in an adjoining closet is a drink cooler.

On the Lower Level there are 4 bedrooms & 3 full baths. The Lower Level front deck is covered & has a daybed swing just calling out for a snooze. Let the sound of the waves kissing the shore lull you to sleep. Also on that deck is an open air area with a glider for those who adore to sway & feel the warm sunshine on their face. The lower covered back deck has a view of the pool with 2 Southern rockers & a bar height table. Bring out your coffee in the mornings & listen to the call of the gulls. With sliding glass door access to the back deck is an additional bedroom with a queen pull out couch that also serves as an entertainment room with a enormous screen TV, a dry bar, and a beverage cooler.

Upstairs in addition to the 3 bedrooms & 2 full baths, is a half bath right off the dining/kitchen areas. The upper front deck has a 6 seat table with a view of the ocean. The upper level back deck has a view of the pool & 2 rockers with a bar height table. This deck is not covered so you can sit here in the evenings to see the wonders of the nighttime sky above you. As a modest family beach, we don’t have the bright lights of the city which hide the stars.

Lower Level Bedrooms: #1 – Primary: Ocean view, king, en suite (huge shower, double vanity), sizable walk-in closet, door to front deck; #2 – king, sliding glass door to back deck, hall bath (tub/shower); #3 – ocean view, queen, beside door to front deck; #4 – Bunk Room: Twin/Double, Twin Triple Bunk; Jack & Jill Bath shared by #3 & #4; Upper Level: #5 – Primary: Oceanview, clerestory windows which illuminate the room, king, en suite (huge shower, double vanity), large walk-in closet; #6 & #7 – Queen, Hall Bath; All Bedrooms have Dressers/Closets & Intelligent TVs (except Bedroom #4).

This vacation home does not feel like a rental but more of a resort. After a day at the beach (just across the street) in the sand & sun, the fun doesn’t end. Whether it’s the pool, hot tub or swaying in the daybed swing with that book you’ve been wanting to read, there are so many amenities that you may not be able to pick your favorite.

Booking the best Oak Island vacation property experience:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

• In the Cape Fear area area, The earlier you can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your rental property six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Book your vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area visitors guide upon checking 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 local stories, travel guide magazines contain offers and deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Planning, picking, and booking the perfect Cape Fear area rental:

• Choose your dates and budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Amazing Ocean Views, Dog Friendly, Heated Salt Water Pool, Hot Tub, Elevator, Beach Chairs w/ Cart has 8 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available on booking websites. If not, contact the property management company before you book the rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to find a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Considerations for your stay:

• Add the property manager's contact information to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents lots of concerns.
• Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Document any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if damages are assessed.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected everything. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on great feedback to propel more bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience find their best rental home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
