About this Property

  • Sleeps 10
  • 4 Bedrooms
  • 2 Bathrooms
  • Private vacation home

4 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms
1 King | 1 Queen | 1 Double | 2 Twin-over-twin Bunk Beds

Surrounded by tons of trees and greenery, this four-bedroom, two-bathroom property is a real getaway just two blocks from the ocean and with painless access to Oak Island attractions.

A short walk inland on the Scenic Trail leads over the canal and directly to the kayak and canoe launch. Among the other inland entertainments are the splash park, skate park, squash and tennis courts and playground equipment. The king bedroom and one of the queen bedrooms open onto waterway vistas. Two sets of twin-over-twin bunk beds and one bedroom with a double bed complete the sleeping accommodations for up to 10 people. Every piece of furnishings and decorative accent is top-quality. Each room is a delight, from the vibrant blue rocking chairs and side table on the front porch to the attractively colored duvets on sleigh beds in two of the rooms and both sets of white bunk beds covered in fanciful ocean-themed linens in a sea-blue room. The bedrooms are carpeted and gleaming wood floors cover all other areas, with the exception of tile floor in the baths and separate laundry room.

A patterned blue and sand colored rug in the living room seating area compliments the like-colored couch and chairs. Flat screen TVs are in all bedrooms and there is wireless internet access throughout. The kitchen is not just state-of-the-art functional, but an eye-pleaser as well. Granite countertops on every work surface pick up the color and theme of the bathroom vanities. A mini-tile splash guard behind the stove adds the ideal accent to this exceptional kitchen. The dining area seats six, with an additional outdoor table and four chairs on the huge screened back porch.

Stroll out to savor the marsh vistas on the dock added in 2020. A convenient enclosed hot and cold shower is located under the back deck. Generous windows throughout the home offer vistas of gently swaying trees from virtually every vantage point.

Though family pets are not allowed, please note that occasionally a dog may be present during an owner stay for those guests who are allergic to pets.

Strategies to get the perfect Cape Fear area vacation rental experience:

When to reserve a Cape Fear area rental home & When to go:

  • Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
  • Summer is high season in the Cape Fear area area. To find the best value, shift your trip dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
  • Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
  • Booking websites usually offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
  • Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines have offers and deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

How to select the perfect rental home in Oak Island:

  • Begin by selecting your the best vacation week and a spending budget.
  • Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Ale Of A Good Time: Modern Home Overlooking Canal has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
  • Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible online. If they are not listed, call the host before you reserve the property. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
  • If your family is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
  • If there's a particular Cape Fear area beach you are crazy about, keep an eye out for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
  • Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Know before you go:

  • Take a copy of the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
  • Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
  • Lock your rental while you're out. Protect your property!
  • During check-in, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
  • Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your peaceful home life. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would have not otherwise known!
  • Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
  • Just before checking out, complete a walk-through to make sure you have not leave anything behind. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
  • Go through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, take video of the property to record its condition.
  • After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on great reviews to compel more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will appreciate that you share your review find their best vacation rental. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.

Victory Beach Vacations

Visitors who are on the hunt for the postcard-perfect vacation rental in the heart of the Carolina Beach or Kure Beach area will find an enticing selection and plenty of friendly customer service when they rent through Victory Beach Vacations. Based in Carolina Beach in the coastal Cape Fear region, Victory Beach Vacations has more than 100 vacation rentals in all shapes and sizes to ensure that every vacationing family can find their dream home away from home on the beach.   When you book your Cape Fear getaway with Victory Beach Vacations, the fun doesn’t end when you leave the beach, it continues with an array of privately-owned properties outfitted with all of the amenities needed for a fabulous beach vacation.   Jenna Lanier, General Manager, explains that her family first opened the rental and property management business in 2002. At the forefront of Victory Beach operations is Lanier’s mother, Caroline Meeks. Meeks is both the Broker in Charge and co-owner with husband, Buck Meeks, who manages the Field Services team with Lanier’s husband, Scott.   For nearly 20 years, the Victory Beach team has worked tirelessly to establish a network of top-of-the-line rental properties for Cape Fear visitors to enjoy. “As far as our properties go,” explains Lanier, “they are all updated, well-furnished and appointed. “We have always performed post-cleaning inspections and since the pandemic, have put freshly laundered duvets over all of the comforters between rentals.”   Lanier emphasizes how important the guests experience is “we strive to give our guests a relaxing, stress free, memorable vacation.” This emphasis on customer service has led to Victory Beach Vacations having a 4.8 Google rating with over 300 reviews by happy owners and guests.In addition to Victory Beach’s superior sanitation practices, the company offers properties for every type of visitor.

The former, as described by Lanier, is the more commercialized of the two destinations and features a boardwalk, outdoor dining options and a plethora of weekly activities including fireworks, live music, amusement park pop-ups, and movies under the stars. Kure Beach offers a more residential feel with its fishing pier, intimate restaurants and family favorite, North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher.More water fun awaits, too. “There is a harbor and a canal that feed into the intercoastal. We have several properties on the harbor so guests can bring their boat, kayak, [or jet ski] and travel between islands,” says Lanier.   A stay with Victory Beach Vacations is an annual pilgrimage for most. “A large percentage of guests are previous guests. Some even reserve the same property for the next year as they’re checking out,” Lanier says. “It’s almost like it’s their personal vacation home.”   Even before guests arrive at their vacation destination, the Victory Beach Vacations’ website greets them with a live beach cam and exquisite aerial footage of both Carolina and Kure Beaches.
