Pack your belongings and head out to the beautiful west side of the island, where you'll be charmed by this beach home! Don't forget Fido - A Fair Wind accepts up to one dog per reservation.

Walking into this home, you'll feel instantly welcomed by this open-concept living space. The main room has plenty of seating surrounding a enormous TV. (Please note that the pictured fireplace is not available for guest use.) Watch a movie or play games on the couch, perhaps even read a book during a calming evening on the recliner. To the left, there are double doors leading out to the porch, where you can savor the salt air and breeze in your hair. This porch has five seats for sunbathing and a place to kick up your feet and relax as you watch the waves.

Walk into the kitchen on granite tile floors and appreciate a meal with family on the kitchen island, which also serves as the dining table. It seats up to ten members of your family, with four barstools. The kitchen is equipped with cooking basics so you can enjoy a home-cooked meal with the ocean in view. A Keurig is supplied to make your coffee as swiftly as possible before you miss the sunrise, and a crock pot to have your dinner simmering by the time you make it back from the beach. There is an outdoor shower to rinse off with, and a washer and dryer, so your breeches don't stay sandy!

There are four bedrooms, and two have king beds with en-suite bathrooms. The other two rooms come with queen beds and share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. Each bedroom contains a TV for your entertainment.

A two-min. walk from the beach, and only a short drive everywhere else! Three-min. drive to the Lonerider brewpub, and a five-min. drive to The Point. Appreciate the west end at its best by booking here at A Fair Wind!

How to get the best vacation home experience:

Getting the most from your rental home budget:

• Summer months are high season in Oak Island. To get the best value, try shifting your vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving 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 property manager whether your family qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides contain discounts for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Considerations for your stay:

• We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Document any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of difficulties.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected everything. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on great reviews to drive future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
