Your Island Heaven awaits you at this refreshed home–finished in 2024–with a saltwater pool! Parlor around like The Lazy Pelican you are and appreciate 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. Enchanting 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 huge T.V. 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 savor your morning coffee, listen to the ocean and smell the salt air.

How to book the best Oak Island vacation property experience:

Get the best value:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are high season in Oak Island. To get the largest rental home within your budget, we suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at Southport restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Southport area magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guides contain deals for nearby tours and attractions.

Choosing and booking the perfectvacation home:

• Begin by choosing your a vacation week and a budget.
• Determine how many 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.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is commonly available on booking websites. If not, reach out to the property manager before booking your rental. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Get information on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental

More tips for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, television set or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of problems.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• To make certain that damages are not attributed to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon your arrival. Get in touch with the rental manager right away to relay any damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected everything. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a fantastic time? Many rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
