Whether your ideal coastal vacation involves sunbathing on the beach, swimming in the surf, fishing for your next big catch, exploring peaceful waterways by kayak or all of the above and more, Blu Malibu serves up the ultimate home base for all your island adventures. Located on a peaceful stretch of Oak Island’s West Beach, this oceanfront home is only a 3-min. walk from the Davis Canal boat ramp, where you can conveniently load a boat, kayak or canoe into the quieter waters of Montgomery Slough.

Bright white walls and blue accents greet you as you enter into the open-concept living space on the main floor, and wooden beams draw the eye forward to the horizon and charming vistas of the Atlantic. Settle on the roomy sectional to stream your favorite show or catch the big game thanks to the cable package. The sturdy wooden dining table seats at least six comfortably, with bench seating along one side accepting for additional space. There are also an additional four seats available at the adjacent breakfast bar. The kitchen is entirely equipped with everything you need to prepare during your stay and offers plenty of counterspace for meal preparation.

When it’s time to retire for the nighttime, each bedroom has its own TV for personal entertainment, and ceiling fans for comfort. On the east side of the bungalow, the oceanfront bedroom is furnished with a queen bed and a twin. A Jack and Jill bathroom connects through to a bedroom with a king bed. To the west, the oceanfront bedroom provides a queen bed and connects via a second Jack and Jill bathroom to another bedroom with both a queen and a twin bed. The final bedroom is located on the ground level and is accessible via an external staircase only. Here, you’ll find a queen bed and an attached private bathroom with a step-in shower stall. The ground level also provides a second full size refrigerator and microwave, along with a washer and dryer.

Under the home, an enclosed shower with hot and cold water makes rinsing the sand off before heading inside a breeze, and you’ll also find protected storage space for your beach equipment. Gaze at the horizon as you sway in the porch swing located in this shady space, which also provides a charcoal grille and picnic table for cooking out and additional seating for calming. Above, the open deck offers plenty of space to soak in the sun’s rays, and the forward crow’s nest with constructed-in bench seating is the ideal spot to keep an eye on the kids while staying out of the sand. Or getaway to the generous screened porch, kick back in an Adirondack chair and take a nap in the fresh sea air instead. Sip your morning coffee or late afternoon drink as you watch the sunlight reflect on the waves. No matter the season, your family will savor making lifelong memories at Blu Malibu.

Vacation rental tips:

When to book & When to go:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Carolina Beach area. Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Often, management companies supply Carolina Beach area travel guides which will include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.
