The aqua exterior echoes the broad vistas of the Atlantic Ocean off the wraparound, first floor covered porch and second floor deck.

With an inverted floor plan, multiple sliding glass doors and sizable picture windows, guests won’t miss the view when they step into the open concept living area. Here, guests can gather on the sectional couch, around the dining table (which seats 10) or in the u-shaped kitchen (with seating for three more at the counter).

Finding the best Oak Island rental home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Booking your vacation rental in the Fall or Spring is a great way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable 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 on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• 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 group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers often offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitors guides have money saving offers on nearby accommodations and attractions.

Choosing the perfect rental in the Cape Fear area area:

• Select a group lead, select your vacation week, and select a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Summer Sea: Ocean Views Abound at this Colorful Rental with Private Pool and Ele has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available on booking pages. If they are not listed, reach out to the property owner before reserving your rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to establish what is right for your trip.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask your host about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Save the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Record any issues with the property during check in, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, stereo or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent quite a few issues.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to make sure you have not leave anything behind. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a great vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
