IDEALLY SITUATED ON WEST SIDE OF NATURAL CANAL WITH DIRECT ICW ACCESS
La Brisa is charmingly located on the west side of one of the very few natural canals on OIB. So, the canal side of the home is shaded from the hot afternoon summer sun. Our canal directly accesses the Intra Coastal Waterway, which is only 500 yards to the north.

SHORT WALK/BIKE RIDE TO EVERYTHING
La Brisa is short 500 yds to the pristine, wide beaches of Ocean Isle. The closest beach access is Monroe Street, which has parking for cars, golf carts and bicycles. It's a 6-min walk or 2-min bicycle ride. Public bathrooms and showers are also located there.

It's also a short walk (or even shorter bicycle ride) to OIB's eateries, the fishing pier, ice cream stores, mini golf, and arcades, the Carolina Coastal Museum and the new Town Park. The Town Park is also the site of the Friday Nighttime Concert Series that runs all summer. Families like the close proximity to the stores, pier, etc. because younger kids can effortlessly walk or bicycle to the attractions.

MASSIVE REAR DECK AND TIKI BAR!
Massive rear deck with a 24' x 8' covered portion, a 14' x 12' uncovered portion, and a 12' by 10' pergola covered portion. The covered portion has three comfortable rocking chairs, and is directly accessed by the canal left side bedroom and the master bedroom. A seating area in the uncovered portion includes a Breezesta 4-top bistro table overlooking the lush yard and the canal. Two Breezesta chaise lounges are partially shaded by pergola covered portion.

We also have a bespoke constructed Tiki bar. The sizable 8'x14' Tiki bar is under the home and is constructed from reclaimed wood from the original rear deck. A bespoke constructed cypress bar top is handsome but should be rugged enough. Behind the bar is a constructed-in 65 qt. cooler for ice and drinks. On the canal side of the Tiki bar is a sizable 12'x14' Trex deck with a teak seating area and a hammock.

MASTER BEDROOM SUITE
We have an expanded master bedroom suite by enclosing 96 sq ft of the original, covered deck, which created room for a king bed and a private, master bathroom. Two double sliders provide marvelous water vistas and access the covered and pergola covered portions of the rear deck. We also installed a remote controlled, Mitsubishi "mini-split" wall unit that individually heats and cools the master suite. Also found in the master suite is a 39" intelligent HDTV with YouTube TV.

The private, master bath is accessed via a sliding door and features a enormous, granite vanity. The master bath accesses a buddy shower room with a bespoke tiled shower.

A private bath for the front right bedroom also has a granite vanity and accesses the shower room.

The master suite and new bathrooms are finished with shiplap walls and engineered plank floor.

HUGE FRONT PORCH!
A giant (24'x10') porch is on the street side of the home, with separate seating and dining areas. The dining area has a bistro table with two bar-height swiveling Adirondack chairs and two bar stools, and the seating area includes a double Adirondack glider and two Adirondack rockers.

The front porch is partially covered, and is a great spot for a morning cup of java or appreciating one of OIB's epic sunsets. The front porch also features Trex decking and constructed-in architectural lighting. The porch is accessed by lighted stairs that are covered so you can stay dry in the unfortunate event of rain when you arrive or leave.

COMPLIMENTARY KAYAKS, BIKES, BED LINENS, BATH TOWELS, BEACH CHAIRS AND BEACH TOWELS
The local rental companies say, "Don't pack it, rent it." We say, "Don't pack it or rent it, just show up!"

Use of our 3 kayaks (one 13.5' Perception Tribe tandem and two 9.5' Perception Tribe singles) is included in the rental fee! We also provide paddles and personal floatation devices. (If you rented these three kayaks locally, you would pay $400/week.*)

We also provide 4 adult bicycles, at no additional charge, so you can take advantage of our awe-inspiring location and bicycle to the beaches, stores and eateries. This saves you $160/week* or the hassle of schlepping your bicycles all the way to the beach.

Unlike many OIB vacation units, we also provide bath towels, bed linens, pillows and blankets for all beds, at no additional charge We also provide 4 beach chairs, and beach towels, also at no additional charge. This saves you more than $200/week* if rented locally and frees up all that space in your suitcases and car.

DOCK, PIER AND RAMP
We have a rebuilt 8'x14' floating dock that is a ideal place to park your boat or jet skis, crab or fish, swim in the canal, or just relax.

We also have a huge (10'x12'), rebuilt fixed pier with constructed-in seating around three sides. The pier is connected to the dock by a bespoke constructed, wide (4'x12') aluminum ramp. An aluminum, ladder on the floating dock makes for simple access to the water for swimming in the canal, launching kayaks, etc.

TONS OF OUTDOOR LIVING SPACE/PROFESSIONALLY LANDSCAPED YARD
La Brisa features tons of outdoor living space to savor the water vistas and ocean breezes. The front and rear decks, and the tiki bar total 1000 sq. ft. of finished, outdoor space.

In addition, there is another covered area under the home and behind the Tiki bar, which includes a huge picnic table and a back bar, where you can enjoying a rousing game of ring toss.

Completing the outdoor living spaces is the huge (10'x12') pier extending into the canal, with constructed-in seating on three sides, and a floating dock with a constructed-in bench. We also have four (4) light weight Adirondack chairs that can be conveniently moved down to the dock or pier or to wherever they are needed.

You can appreciate our professionally landscaped and maintained yard from any of the outdoor spaces. We have planted numerous varieties of palm trees, native grasses, annuals, perennials, and an herb garden. Our striking Zoysia lawn is great for any outdoor activity!

VINTAGE CHARM, BUT UPDATED
The home has been updated and updated. The center portion of the interior features a light filled, open living/dining/kitchen area. The remodel preserved the bungalow's vintage charm by keeping the original vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, tongue and groove paneling and architectural windows on the front and rear gables. There are tile floors in the main living areas and engineered plank floor in all bedrooms and bathrooms.

The kitchen has granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and maple cabinets. We added a shiplap accent wall and subway tile backsplash in the kitchen. The kitchen is very well equipped with all the expected cooking and dining silverware, pots and pans and appliances.

Two remote controlled ceiling fans in the main living area help keep things cool and comfortable, if you like the windows open. If not, the brand new HVAC system will definitely keep you cool.

AWESOME ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEMS
The living area has a 55", flat panel, intelligent 4K HDTV with, YouTube TV streaming service, DVR and a DVD player. There is also a state-of-the-art SONOS sound system for watching movies in surround sound and streaming your favorite tunes. Free and robust Wi-Fi is supplied.

UPDATED OUTDOOR BATHROOM; LAUNDRY ROOM
Also on the ground level is an updated full, outdoor bathroom with Trex floor. The shower has hot and cold water, a large sink and a separate water closet with a toilet.

Next to the outdoor bathroom is a laundry/storage area with a full size washer and dryer and a second refrigerator/freezer. The bicycles, beach chairs, corn hole game, paddles, PFD's, and other toys are stored in the laundry room.

LEGENDARY GOLF: PERFECT FOR A FOURSOME
Golfers welcome! The golf in this region is legendary, particularly, in the spring and fall. And, our four (4) bedroom home sets up ideally for a foursome. Appreciate the great golf and then relax and enjoy the canal or the beach, which is a short six (6) min. walk.

There are over 100 golf courses, from Myrtle Beach to Wilmington, within a 1 hour drive, and at least a dozen within a 15 min. drive. Some notables near by include the Thistle, Crow's Creek, River's Edge, Sea Trail (Jones, Maples or Byrd courses) the Pearl , Oyster Bay Sandpiper Bay, etc., etc., etc.

OIB is also between Wilmington NC and Myrtle Beach SC, and all of the eateries, entertainment, shopping and cultural amenities they provide.

No smoking. No family pets.

Our top Rental home tips and tricks:

When to book & When to go:

• The earlier you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are reserved early. Reserving your vacation property up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To find the best value, consider shifting your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant weather, , and greatly reduced traffic.
• Owners sometimes offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Often, management companies supply Carolina Beach area travel guides which will include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to select the perfect vacation rental:

• Choose dates and maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Free linens, towels, kayaks, bikes! Walk to Town Park! Deep water dock! has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking pages. If not, reach out to the property manager before you book the home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You will need to establish which bed configuration is optimal for your vacation family.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must book a property that allows animals. Get information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• Looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.

Know before you go:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Document any issues with the property at check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if damages are assessed.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected everything. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, remember to take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on great ratings to compel new bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best vacation home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
