Healing Waters. When you book a hideaway, that is what you are looking for. Somewhere to relax & have fun. In this oceanfront bungalow one of your favorite spots may be sitting on the deck, overlooking the ocean & feeling the effect of those Healing Waters. Smell that fresh salt air. Feel those salubrious breezes. Put your toes in the warm sand. Take a dip into the ocean, the Healing Waters. In the heat of the day, relax on the covered deck & take in all the beauty that being oceanfront affords. Oak Island is unusual on the East Coast in that we have a South facing beach. Bring your camera & coffee to watch the sun rise over the water & in the evening pour a glass of wine to watch the sun set, also over the water. As the sun disappears, the Edison lights on the deck create a calming mood.

There is a private walkway leading you over the 1st set of dunes to a path through the 2nd set of dunes to the shoreline. As you head down the walkway you may want to bring the binoculars from inside & sit on the bench to watch for dolphins playing in the water ahead of you. Zoom in to see the pelicans fly in formation & the gulls as they “laugh” at you. Grab the included 6 chairs & beach toys as you head to savor the warmth of the sun & fun in the sand & water.

Unload your vacation supplies under the covered parking & head right up the stairs leading to the memories about to be made. Staying oceanfront also saves you from searching for parking at the beach accesses & during the season, having to pay to park once you find that space.

Enter to find an open concept kitchen, dining & living areas. The bright white, vaulted ceilings reflect the light from the windows flanking the back of the living area with vistas of the ocean. What an airy, relaxing vibe you feel already. In the comfortable living area, you can watch TV, play games, or relive the fun of the day by the ambiance of electric fireplace any time of year. Dividing the kitchen & living areas is an island with plenty of storage & seating for 6. You may choose alfresco dining at the picnic table on the deck. Preparing meals in this open concept kitchen accepts for everybody to be together but appreciating their own activities. Modest appliances include a drip/k-cup coffee maker, tea kettle, blender, toaster & stock pot to make those low county seafood boils.

To the left of the dining island is the stacked washer/dryer laundry center. Save room for souvenirs by packing lighter because you can wash your vacation clothes, swimsuits & towels as you use them. An iron & board are supplied to look sharp & crisp for those dinners out. The Primary Bedroom, with ensuite, entry is directly off the dining area. This Primary with queen includes an ensuite with shower & hair dryer. Bedroom #2 has 2 twin beds, TV & a desk for mobile work or school. Bedroom #3 sleeps 3 in a full & twin bed; TV.

Our top Vacation rental tips:

When to visit Oak Island & When to reserve a rental home:

• Summer months are the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Booking your Cape Fear area vacation rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are reserved early. Reserving your rental up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites usually offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area visitors guides that include special deals, either offered directly 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 area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning, picking, and booking the right Cape Fear area vacation home:

• Choose a group leader, choose your vacation dates, and select a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. 15% Off Bookings Stayed By May 31st, Amazing Dog Friendly Oceanfront 3 Bedroom Cottage has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before reserving the rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• Is your family looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before booking
• If your group is bringing pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly rental. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

More considerations:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• To make certain that damages are not linked to your stay, make a record of any problem areas during check in. text the rental manager immediately to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Just prior to departing, complete a walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. 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 excellent vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
