Located between the gorgeous beaches of Oak Island and the breathtaking Davis Canal, Family Tides is mins. from the beach and a fast bicycle ride away from eateries, shopping and groceries galore. This bright and cheerful bungalow, only 3 rows back from the ocean, features marsh vistas and a 2.5-story floor plan with a additional kids/game room on the lower level. With 4 BR, this is an ideal beach home for 2 families – comfortable for 3 – to share and appreciate together for a calming oceanside holiday.

The home has been newly refreshed throughout with new floor, washer/dryer, couches, bed sets and comforters. The inviting features continue outside, where you’ll find an broad front deck and screened back porch with plenty of room and a view that includes glimpses of the water and canal.

Each bedroom also has a private deck with additional furnishings. Dine al Fresco with a drink in-hand on the screened porch or in the huge backyard while lazily relaxing in the hammock or tree swing. A short walk of fewer than 4 mins. takes you from the driveway to the sand where you’ll lay your blanket.

As an added additional, the spectacular walkway over the Davis Canal at 29th St is even closer than the beach and provides a outstanding opportunity to view the island’s wildlife, including foxes, herons, and other shorebirds, deer, and more. This walkway also provides simple access to the Oak Island Recreation Center. Fishing is available from one of two fishing piers on the island as well as from the Davis Canal, 40th Street inlet.
Adore being out on the water? With over 100 ft of driveway to park your boat trailer and drive to one of the many boat launches all over the island, you can quickly be out on the ICW (inter coastal waterway) which gives you water access to the Atlantic Ocean, Lockwood Folly River, Southport or Baldhead Island. For a unique beach experience take a drive out to The Point.
Need more? There are two public golf courses on Oak Island and well over 15 golf courses with scenic vistas and natural settings within a 20 min. to 1-hour drive.
Just bring your beach towels! Beach chairs, umbrellas, toys for the kiddos, a enormous (wheeled) cooler, bicycles and a wagon are supplied at no additional cost. An enclosed outside shower with hot and cold water, as well as a changing area, make cleaning up after returning from the beach a breeze.



Groups welcome. Absolutely No Parties.

How to find the best vacation home experience:

When to reserve a Carolina Beach rental home & When to go:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To book the best vacation home for your budget, we suggest reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitors guides which include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to choose and book the perfect Carolina Beach rental:

• Start by selecting your vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group needs. 3Min Walk to Beach w\/Marsh View: Bright Spacious Family Home has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the host before reserving the property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You will need to determine which bed configuration is best for your group.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or costs could be applied to your contract.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking

Know before you go:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home. We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Note any damages to the property at check in, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be helpful if there is a dispute.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• At departure, take a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out 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 you have a fantastic vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
