The comfortable living room provides plenty of seating across three armchairs, two couches and a appreciate seat. Watch a favorite movie together on the wall-mounted flatscreen TV thanks to cable service and a Blu-ray player or watch the colors of the sunset reflect on the waves as it sinks below the countless horizon just out your window. The long wooden dining table seats eight for mealtimes, with an additional six barstools supplied at the adjacent breakfast counter. The huge kitchen is entirely equipped with everything you need to prepare during your stay including a glass top stove freshly installed in 2025.

Down the hall from the living room, the second full bathroom offers a step-in shower stall and shared hall access for the final two bedrooms. One bedroom offers a queen bed and a twin, while the other has a queen and a double.

Downstairs, the enclosed garage creates a welcome additional space for kids to run off energy should your stay include a rainy day. You’ll find the charcoal grille stored here until you’re ready for it, along with beach chairs for your use. There is also a laundry room with a full-sized washer and dryer. Outside, the enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water accepts you to rinse off the sand while appreciating the calming ocean breezes before heading upstairs.

The partially covered oceanfront porch is where you’re sure to spend many of your vacation hours. Whether you choose to settle in at the extended wooden picnic table with plenty of space for everybody to dine al fresca or the classic rocking chairs grouped for peaceful conversation, time seems to slow as you soak in the sun, lift your face to the breeze and slow your breathing to the rhythm of the waves. And when you can no longer resist the urge to dip your toes in the water, you’ll find beach access is painless and fast thanks to a dedicated sand path.

Finding the best Oak Island vacation property experience:

Find your perfect rental:

• The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked very early. Reserving your vacation rental up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Summer time is high season in Oak Island. To get the largest rental for your budget, we highly recommend booking in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular Carolina Beach attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach area magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitors guides have coupons for local accommodations and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• First, have your group agree to a vacation week and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Admiral's Quarters: Cozy Oceanfront Home with Covered Porch has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the host before you book your rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or charges might be applied to your contract.
• Looking for particular amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents many problems.
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
• Make a record of any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be an incredible resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a terrific time? Most rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
