Welcome to the Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous… It’s a Shore Thing that this is what you will feel like during your stay. The Saltwater Pool, surrounded by tons of Parlor Seating, will make you want to call the cabana boy for your Pina Colada. If only… From the 2 Front Decks you have an Ocean View. Go ahead, check the surf. With the Ocean Crest Pier just a short walk away, you can pull up it’s web cam. Coordinate with friends at home & wave to them with the Ocean filling in the background. Since OKI is a South-Facing Beach, the sun rises & sets over the water. From the Decks, you get photo worthy vistas. Speaking of photos, don’t you wish you knew the best spots on your vacation to take them? It’s a Shore Thing that there is a book, amongst other local books, to tell you just where they are! Back Decks are also on 2 levels & overlooking the Pool activities. This is where you look down & really feel like you’ve just entered a 5 star resort. There is even a little table to bring out that midday snack & savor the fresh breeze.

As you approach you notice the natural area on the side of the bungalow that looks like its own little park. From the Front Deck or gazing through the windows inside, watch the birds flit about, darting in & out of the shade trees & bushes. Drive under the Covered Parking & unload your suitcases & provisions straight into the Elevator. No lugging heavy bags up the steps.

On the upper level you enter the bright & airy Open Concept Living/Dining/Kitchen areas. With all the windows, it is flooded with Natural Light & you can see the Ocean before you ever put on your swimsuit. In the Living area are 2 Cozy Appreciate Seats & a Couch. Whether you’re watching the big game or favorite sitcom on Cable or prefer to stream a movie, there is plenty of seating for everybody. Just add popcorn! The Sizable Coffee Table is well suited to the wide variety of games to play or puzzles to be assembled. Perhaps you want to go on the deck with your morning coffee & get lost in one of the multiple genres of beach reads to choose from.

The Well-Stocked Kitchen will make you feel like a chef. With tons of gorgeous serving pieces you can create a buffet on the Grand Kitchen Island. There is both a Drip & K-Cup Coffee Maker. If you prefer to Grind your own coffee beans, be sure to bring them & use the Coffee Grinder for that fresh taste & aroma. Create delicious simple meals in the 2 Crock Pots or heat up your leftovers in the Toaster Oven. Blend up the ingredients for either a morning protein shake or that Pina Colada you were wishing for by the Pool. When you come to the Beach in the South, you think of Low Country Boils. Stop by one of numerous Local Fresh Seafood Markets & pick up shrimp & other favorites to traditionally serve them up right out of the Substantial Stock Pot. Whether caught or bought, pick up some seafood & steaks for your surf & turf dinners as well. Cook them on the Charcoal Park Grille & dine Al Fresco at the Picnic Table downstairs. Back inside, Serving & Cleanup are a breeze because of the proximity of the Kitchen & Dining Areas. Have a snack & play cards sitting at the Kitchen Island Bar. There is a Half Bath on this level.

Wash off the Salt & Sand in the Outside Shower with both Hot & Cold Water & drop your towels & swimwear into the washer to always be ready for the next day of building sandcastles & searching for seashells.
Within a short walking distance is the Sea Biscuit Wildlife Preserve. Here they rehab wild birds to hopefully be released back into their natural habitat. They also offer tours (arranged ahead of time) & educate the public about the various species of birds they have rehabbed & the services they provide. Also, on this street is the 19th Street Walkway. Bring a book or take a book at the little complimentary library there. The walkway crosses over the Marshlands. You’ll want a camera for this jaunt as well. There is often wildlife to capture your attention. If you want a nice walk, take the 19th Street Walkway to the other side & walk west on Oak Island Drive to the 9th Street Walkway & back. There’s no need to rush & this loop will give you a fun & calming 3-mile outing. 2 Blocks to the Beach & 3 Blocks to the Ocean Crest Pier & Island Way Restaurant.

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Cape Fear area vacation rental experience:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in the Cape Fear area area. To book the largest rental home within budget, we suggest booking in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Many management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitors guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning, selecting, and booking the perfect Cape Fear area rental home:

• Select your dates and maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Ocean View - Private Pool, Fenced In - 1 Block from Pier- Elevator has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is generally accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before booking your rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or costs applied to your contract.
• If there's a certain Cape Fear area destination you love, keep an eye out for properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .

Tips for a great stay:

• Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few issues.
• Lock your rental while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Make a record of any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if damages are assessed.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Just before checking out, complete a final walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager is not available, take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a great stay? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
