A Shore Escape - new to rental market! - Vacation rental home in Oak Island, NC

About this Property

• Sleeps 8
• 3 Bedrooms
• 2 Bathrooms
• Private vacation home
• Approximately 1540 square feet

New home constructed in Oct 2021! On a peaceful, residential street, never worry about being surrounded by event-goers. The streets safe for bicycle riding and walking, far enough away from the center of town, but close enough to be a 10-min drive to the amenities. Drive (2-3 min) or walk (10-15min) to the quietest part of the beach where you can see both the splendid sunrises and the striking sunsets. The home is outfitted with all basic conveniences down to the bath towels, bed linens, cleaning supplies, paper products and even condiments in the refrigerator. Open, roomy floor plan, comfortable living area, and cozy bedrooms for your time away from the beach. Puzzles, books, games, wi-fi, and TV's in every bedroom for your entertainment. Even a cute little "leave a book, take a book" box on the walk to the beach.

Bedroom 1, the master, includes a King bed and double vanity, with a double head shower bigger than you can imagine!
Bedroom 2, with a Queen bed includes a dresser to unpack all those clothes and feel like you actually live there rather than living out of a suitcase.
Bedroom 3, with 2 double beds accepts for those who like to share a room sleep-over style.

Bathrooms: both contain towels, basic soaps/shampoos and select toiletries in case you forget what you need, or simply to lighten your load when packing. The master includes a HUGE shower with two shower heads!

The front porch and the back screened-in porch make for great conversation, book reading, appreciating beverages or just winding down.

Below the home, aside from plenty of parking, there is a gas grille, a Blackstone flat top griddle, and an electric smoker available for responsible use. There is also an outdoor shower for rinsing off all that additional beach sand.

Paid parking is required at all beach tons. For details, go to oakislandnc.gov

Oak Island vacation rental tips and tricks:

Getting the most from your rental home budget:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To find the best rental home for your budget, we suggest booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular Southport attractions. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area travel guide magazines which include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Finding the best vacation home in the Southport area:

• Select vacation week and maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. A Shore Escape - new to rental market! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is often accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property management company before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property management company about pets before booking.
• If there's a particular Southport attraction you long to visit, browse properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental

Tips to have a fantastic stay:

• Add the host's phone number to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your stay, inspect for any problem areas upon check in. Call the host immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a wonderful stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong 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.
