This is your sign that it’s time to Paws Awhile and relax at the beach! Completed in 2025, this ocean view home offers a reverse floor plan that takes full advantage of the vistas of the Atlantic just across the street and welcomes up to two dogs per stay.

Settle into the comfortable curved sectional or loveseat to watch the big game with family, or gaze out the window to watch shorebirds swoop for their dinner instead. The open concept living space flows into the kitchen, where three seats at the center island provide ideal perches for your flock to keep the family prepare company as they put away groceries or prepare meals. Stainless steel appliances and a gleaming white backsplash anchor this space, which is entirely outfitted with everything you’ll need to prepare and dine. The adjacent dining table seats six, and a half bath is located just off this space for convenience.

The master suite is furnished with a king bed and faces the water – wake each morning to the sound of the waves. A TV is included for personal entertainment, and the en suite bath features a double vanity and a step-in shower stall. All other sleeping spaces are located on the lower level, with each bedroom featuring its own TV. All TVs in the home are equipped with Roku devices.

At the foot of the staircase, you’ll find an open room furnished with a wall-mounted TV and a modest desk complete with a computer monitor. A twin daybed gives this space flexibility to act as an additional sleeping area or a second living room. To the east, a bedroom with a double-over-double bunk bed connects to a second bedroom with a twin-over-double bunk bed through a Jack and Jill bathroom with a double vanity and standard tub/shower combo. The final bedroom has a queen bed and direct access to a full bathroom with a step-in shower and constructed-in shower bench. This bathroom also provides hall access, and a laundry closet just beside offers a full-sized washer and dryer.

Upper and lower covered porches on both the front and back of the home mean that there are plenty of spots where guests can savor the sea air. The upper ocean-facing porch provides gorgeous vistas of the Atlantic and a variety of seating from which to appreciate them, including Adirondack chairs and a classic rocker. Other porches provide an outdoor couch or even a porch swing for calming! Below the home, an enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water is appreciated when hauling sand-covered babies or fur-babies back from the beach, and a classic wooden picnic table provides a shady area to dine outside.

How to book the best rental home experience:

Finding your perfect rental home:

• Summer time is high season in Oak Island. Booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes. 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 family and friends at the beach.
• The earlier you can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved early. Booking your rental up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Owners sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area travel guides that include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Choose your vacation dates and budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Paws Awhile: Dog-Friendly Home with Ocean Views has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the property manager before you reserve your rental. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to work out what configuration is right for your vacation family.
• If there's a specific Cape Fear area destination you simply love, look for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or costs may be applied to your contract.

Considerations for your stay:

• We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• At Check-in, record any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, television set or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent a lot of problems.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic source for finding the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal items. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a fantastic time? Most rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
