Located on the peaceful west end, Oak Island Brightside offers a cavernous living room and eat-in kitchen, three bedrooms, two baths, and laundry facilities. After a day at the beach, the gated porch keeps little ones and family pets from straying too far as the grown-ups relax on the swings and deck chairs, soothed by the calming sound of the ocean while ceiling fans above provide a gentle breeze. Recent updates include a new HVAC system, washer/dryer, and kitchen appliances.

There is a king-sized bed in the main bedroom, which is equipped with its own Roku TV and full bathroom. The second bedroom features a comfortable queen-sized bed, while the third bedroom is ideal for kids and teens with a single-over-double bunk bed and a trundle bed that pulls out from underneath.

Clean bed linens are supplied in all rooms and will be neatly folded and placed on the beds prior to your arrival.

The front of the home has a sizable gated porch with two porch swings and three patio chairs, and is cooled by two enormous ceiling fans. The home is pet-friendly (with a two-dog limit) and pets are given painless access to the completely-fenced backyard. The driveway offers ample parking, and doubles as a pickleball/badminton court (net, rackets etc are included). The side yard offers additional parking and a close by hose, convenient for boaters. The backyard also has a charcoal grille available for your use, and a second hose near the side entrance, helpful for rinsing off sand after a day at the beach.

Your stay also includes complimentary use of beach towels, beach chairs, a cooler, a Bluetooth-enabled portable speaker, and a beach umbrella. The living room features a Roku TV with local TV channels and sign-in access to your Netflix, Prime, Disney, and Hulu accounts. Music fans will adore the Bluetooth-enabled portable speaker, with AM/FM radio and the ability to sync with both iPhone and Android. The home also offers superb WIFI. You'll access the home by entering your unique door code into the intelligent lock, while a single external security camera provides additional security. The entire home is yours during your stay, except for one closet locked for the host's access only. Have questions? Send us a message; we'd be happy to answer.

Tips and Tricks to get the best Carolina Beach vacation home experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Booking your Carolina Beach vacation rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitors guides which often include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to choose the best rental in the Carolina Beach area:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your vacation dates, and select a budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Fully Fenced For Our Furry Friends! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is often accessible online. If they are not listed, call the property manager before reserving your home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to establish what is optimal for your trip.
• If there's a particular Carolina Beach beach you crave, keep an eye out for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
• Are you bringing the family pet? 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. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or costs may be applied to your agreement.

Some things to know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your phone.
• Upon check-in, note any damages to the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of difficulties.
• Be respectful. Often times, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Just before checking out, complete a walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on good feedback to drive new bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share your review find their best vacation home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
