If your ideal beach rental looks like it jumped right off of the page of a Southern Living magazine, then we have just the place for you to Let The Fin Begin! Located on the canal with broad vistas of the Intracoastal Waterway with a private boat dock, this intimate home is bright and flooded with natural light.

The living room provides plenty of comfortable seating to watch a favorite movie together on the sizable flatscreen TV, or appreciate a game of cards around the coffee table while soaking in the exceptional view instead! You’ll find a roomy dining table that comfortably seats eight located between the living room and kitchen, with bar stools available at the kitchen counter for additional seating. The modern kitchen is entirely equipped for preparing your favorite meals or fresh catch of the day.

Just off the living room you’ll find the master bedroom with attached bath and direct deck access with a view. Off of the kitchen are two more bedrooms that share a full bathroom with hall access. All bedrooms on the upper floor have queen beds.

On the ground level, you’ll find the garage. This area has its own private entrance and is not directly accessible from the upper floor.

The front and back porches provide plenty of outdoor seating. Kids and adults alike can savor the grassy backyard. While the boat dock is available for guest use, the attached boat lift is not an available luxury. As an added additional, the public boat ramp is less than a block away, as is the Lonerider Restaurant and Bar.

Guests with allergies should note that dogs are occasionally present during an owner or owner guest stay.

How to book the best Oak Island vacation property experience:

Get the best value:

• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked very early. Reserving your vacation home 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• To find the best value, consider shifting your vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies typically offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides contain offers and deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

How to select the perfect vacation home in Oak Island:

• Select vacation week and maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Let The Fin Begin: Cozy Waterway Cottage with Breathtaking Views and Boat Dock has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the host before you reserve the rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you will need a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Cape Fear area attraction you crave, search for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

More considerations for your visit:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your phone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent quite a few problems.
• Lock your rental while you're out and about. Protect your property!
• To make certain that no damages are attributed to your family's stay, inspect for any problem areas upon your arrival. Make contact with the host immediately to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• At departure, complete a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent reviews to propel future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
