This 3rd-row vacation home is located on the peaceful West side of Oak Island with pretty vistas of both the ocean and salt marsh. The home includes a roomy two-story family room filled with natural light and plenty of seating for everybody to relax after a day in the sun.

This home is managed by the owners, rather than a property management company, so you'll receive personal attention to answer your questions or address any issues. Check out the reviews, all of which are 5-star! We're also happy to provide tips on eateries and things to do in the area.

You’ll savor cooking in the well-equipped sizable kitchen complete with dining area or on a propane grille looking out over the marsh on the back deck. No matter where you are inside or out you will have the ability to slip away and appreciate a beautiful and relaxing lookout.

The bedrooms are carefully spread around the home. The primary bedroom (Queen) is tucked away offering privacy and includes a brand new (2023) ensuite bathroom and huge closet and window seat. A twin bedroom is located on the same floor with a powder room close by. The upstairs guest rooms share a new bathroom, with a extravagant soaking tub (and shower) located off the hallway. The King bedroom has a private Oceanview sitting room and flat screen tv. The Queen guestroom has access to the private rooftop deck overlooking the marsh with comfortable Adirondack chairs for your morning coffee or to watch gorgeous sunsets. Hidden behind a barn door on the main floor is a comfortable den and desk/monitor setup overlooking the back deck and marsh, ideal for both peaceful remote work or Zoom Calls, reading or just calming.

After you’ve appreciated the sun and surf at the beach, rinse off in the outdoor shower with hot and cold water and then relax on the back deck or front porch. Parking under the home and on enormous driveway is available for full family and guest use. No need to deal with OKI's new (2023) parking restrictions.

Tips to get the best rental home experience:

Finding your perfect rental:

• Booking a rental in Fall or Spring months is a good way to save on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• In the Cape Fear area area, The earlier you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are booked early. Reserving your vacation home up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites often offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Often, rental management companies supply Cape Fear area area travel guides which will include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to select the best rental home:

• Begin by choosing the best vacation week and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. West End home with Amazing Ocean and Wetland views, steps from the beach. has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is normally available on booking pages. If not, email the property manager before reserving the home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what is optimal for your family.
• If there's an individual Cape Fear area attraction you long to visit, browse rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or charges may be applied to your agreement.

Have a great stay:

• Add the host's contact info to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Upon arrival, make note of any damages to the property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to make sure you've collected everything. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent ratings to stimulate more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
