Accepts Short Stays

3 Bedroom / 2 Bathrooms / Sleeps 8

Outdoor living is at its best at The Feighery Tail: with a firepit seating area in the front, and a shaded hot tub patio in the back yard, complete with a generous cushioned outdoor living room. Our impressive Oak Island bungalow is a .7 mile walk to the beach down a sleepy lane.  (Or a three min. drive.)  Swim, surf, and sun yourself and then walk to Grocery stores, Barbecue, Ice Cream, and Putt Putt, all close by. If you prefer to fish the marshes or run out to the inlet from the ICW, boats and trailers are no problem and there is ample parking. The public boat ramp is super close! Screened-in porches, a hot water outdoor shower, and a gas grille make this the ideal island vacation home year round.

Our street is a straight walk through to the beach access. Nearby Middleton Park provides food trucks and a cabana with showers/ bathrooms.  You will have painless access to the splash pad, skate park, and baseball fields if you need a diversion from the sand for a while. And, don’t miss stopping for a Dole Whip from a close by food truck.  Our home is an simple visit to grocery shopping, dining, and bar spots, as well as various ice cream, coffee, and donut options.

Things To Do:
Oak Island is known for its golden sand beaches, calming blue waters, friendly community, and close proximity to the cities of Southport, Wilmington, and Myrtle Beach. There are many cute island coffee stores, stores, breweries, a town park, a gorgeous Golf Club open to summer travelers, and over 100 public water access points. There is an abundance of all things adventurous to do on Oak Island! 
Surf Fishing doesn’t get much better than Oak Island.  From busy public beaches to hidden creeks, from green park areas to grassy flats where you can wade – surf fishing here can be whatever you want it to be. Bring your favorite gear or hit one of the many bait and tackle stores to rent some, and you’ll be ready to cast away. For the best of all options, take a local guide from one of our many fishing charters dotted around the island who will cater to your group’s every need.
If you'd like to keep your exercise routine going while on vacation, you can get an out-of-town Gym pass at Oak Island Recreation Center. Utilize the Rec Center's ample parking, put in at the Kayak ramp and spend hours kayaking our handsome marshes.  Sit on the lawn and appreciate a nighttime off cooking at our Weekly Friday nighttime "Summer Concert In The Park" with a couple of local food truck options at this family centric Live Music event. Beach Day takes place in Oak Island on the Friday prior to July 4th and features all day activities followed by fireworks on the island that evening.
Visit Historic Southport, a seafaring town just five miles from our island, for a bigger nightlife. Southport, at the confluence of the Cape Fear River and the Atlantic Ocean, features a variety of different eateries, bars, live music and shopping. It is one of our favorite places to walk around and check out different food and live music on the weekends. Free parking options are all over town, and you can comfortably walk to dozens of places while appreciating the breeze from the riverfront and admiring historic homes and general store buildings that date back to the early 1800s. Southport's State Fourth of July Festival is a three-day street fair with artists from all over the state, vendors, and food. It is really like being in an Andy Griffith episode with the parade and enormous finale fireworks show over the river front in Southport.
We look forward to your visit!

Strategies to get the best rental experience:

Sticking to your rental budget:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Reserve your vacation in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your family qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies often offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area visitors guide when you check-in. 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 contain money saving offers on local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Planning, picking, and booking the rightrental:

• Select a group lead, select your dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. The Feighery Tail - Dogs Allowed - Fire Pit - Hot Tub- Private Home has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible online. Otherwise, email or call the property owner before booking your home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to establish what configuration is right for your vacation group.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the host about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• If there's a certain Cape Fear area beach you simply love, keep an eye out for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

Additional considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the directions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your stay, make note of any problem areas during check in. Speak to the rental manager right away to document any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers bothering your peace and quiet. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected everything. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on good ratings to compel future reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
