Your Island Heaven awaits you at this remodeled home–finished in 2024–with a saltwater pool! Parlor around like The Lazy Pelican you are and savor the neighborhood feel of this home, located roughly 300 yards from the beach access with no cross streets. Walk back from the beach, rinse in the outdoor shower, take a dip in the pool and grille a southern barbeque for all your guests with tons of room for games and socializing!

Walk through the front door and you're greeted with the comfortable and homey feel of a farmhouse-style beach home! Soothing cool colors and decor make this place calming, so you can relax. It has a well-equipped kitchen. Charming gray granite counters and a captivating chandelier above the kitchen island with more seating steal the show. This open-concept kitchen and living room serve ideally for those evening meals you'll prepare together as you watch a movie or play board games. There is a stacked washer and dryer off to the side, so you won't worry about wet towels and sandy swimsuits.

Two bedrooms are located on each side of the home, combined with Jack-and-Jill bathrooms. No bedroom is decorated the same, and you'll admire the thought put into each one. All bedrooms besides the master have additional seating so you can bury your nose in a book before bed, but don't worry - wireless internet access is supplied. There is a enormous TV mounted in the living room. Other TVs are wall-mounted in both bunk bed bedrooms. The bunk room with a standard twin-over-twin bunk bed also contains a twin trundle for additional sleeping space.

The fenced-in outdoor getaway is highlighted with an inground saltwater pool and a jetted seating area. Heating is even available upon request for those chillier evenings. Plenty of space for sunbathing in the loungers by the pool. Appreciate dining and socializing under the sunshade by day and carnival lights by nighttime. There's also a cavernous grassy play area for games! On the front of the home, there's a screened-in porch with comfortable seating and a cafe table to appreciate your morning coffee, listen to the ocean and smell the salt air.

Tips for getting the perfect Oak Island vacation property experience:

Finding your perfect rental home:

• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked very early. Reserving your vacation home six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To find the best value, consider changing your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer excellent weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Often, management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitor guides which will include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Filter your rental search:

• To start, have your group select vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. The Lazy Pelican: Centrally Located and a Short Walk to the Beach has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area vacation rental search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly accessible online. If they are not listed, call the host before you book the home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what configuration is optimal for your vacation group.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or charges applied to your agreement.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental

More tips for your stay:

• Get the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent quite a few problems.
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let burglars spoil your vacation.
• During arrival, note any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great source for finding the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a terrific time? Many rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
