Welcome to the Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous… It’s a Shore Thing that this is what you will feel like during your stay.

Go ahead, check the surf. With the Ocean Crest Pier just a short walk away, you can pull up it’s web cam. Coordinate with friends at home & wave to them with the Ocean filling in the background. Since OKI is a South-Facing Beach, the sun rises & sets over the water. From the Decks, you get photo worthy vistas. Speaking of photos, don’t you wish you knew the best spots on your vacation to take them? It’s a Shore Thing that there is a book, amongst other local books, to tell you just where they are! Back Decks are also on 2 levels & overlooking the Pool activities. This is where you look down & really feel like you’ve just entered a 5 star resort. There is even a little table to bring out that midday snack & appreciate the fresh breeze.

As you approach you notice the natural area on the side of the bungalow that looks like its own little park. From the Front Deck or gazing through the windows inside, watch the birds flit about, darting in & out of the shade trees & bushes. Drive under the Covered Parking & unload your bags & provisions straight into the Elevator. No lugging heavy bags up the steps.

On the upper level you enter the bright & airy Open Concept Living/Dining/Kitchen areas. With all the windows, it is flooded with Natural Light & you can see the Ocean before you ever put on your swimsuit. In the Living area are 2 Cozy Appreciate Seats & a Couch. Whether you’re watching the big game or favorite sitcom on Cable or prefer to stream a movie, there is plenty of seating for everybody. Just add popcorn! The Substantial Coffee Table is well suited to the wide variety of games to play or puzzles to be assembled. Perhaps you want to go on the deck with your morning coffee & get lost in one of the numerous genres of beach reads to choose from.

The Well-Stocked Kitchen will make you feel like a chef. With tons of beautiful serving pieces you can create a buffet on the Extensive Kitchen Island. There is both a Drip & K-Cup Coffee Maker. If you prefer to Grind your own coffee beans, be sure to bring them & use the Coffee Grinder for that fresh taste & aroma. Create delicious simple meals in the 2 Crock Pots or heat up your leftovers in the Toaster Oven. Blend up the ingredients for either a morning protein shake or that Pina Colada you were wishing for by the Pool. When you come to the Beach in the South, you think of Low Country Boils. Stop by one of numerous Local Fresh Seafood Markets & pick up shrimp & other favorites to traditionally serve them up right out of the Generous Stock Pot. Whether caught or bought, pick up some seafood & steaks for your surf & turf dinners as well. Cook them on the Charcoal Park Grille & dine Al Fresco at the Picnic Table downstairs. Back inside, Serving & Cleanup are a breeze because of the proximity of the Kitchen & Dining Areas. Have a snack & play cards sitting at the Kitchen Island Bar. There is a Half Bath on this level.

Wash off the Salt & Sand in the Outside Shower with both Hot & Cold Water & drop your towels & swimwear into the washer to always be ready for the next day of building sandcastles & searching for seashells.
Within a short walking distance is the Sea Biscuit Wildlife Preserve. Here they rehab wild birds to hopefully be released back into their natural habitat. They also offer tours (arranged ahead of time) & educate the public about the various species of birds they have rehabbed & the services they provide. Also, on this street is the 19th Street Walkway. Bring a book or take a book at the little complimentary library there. The walkway crosses over the Marshlands. You’ll want a camera for this jaunt as well. There is often wildlife to capture your attention. If you want a nice walk, take the 19th Street Walkway to the other side & walk west on Oak Island Drive to the 9th Street Walkway & back. There’s no need to rush & this loop will give you a fun & calming 3-mile outing. 2 Blocks to the Beach & 3 Blocks to the Ocean Crest Pier & Island Way Restaurant.

Tricks and tips for getting the best Carolina Beach rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in Oak Island. Reserving a rental home in the Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guides have coupons for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Begin by choosing your trip dates and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Ocean View - Private Pool, Fenced In - 1 Block from Pier- Elevator has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property manager before reserving the vacation property. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property managers charge additional pet fees.
• Visiting for a single attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Know before you go:

• Get the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Record any damages to the property at check in, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are very helpful if a dispute is filed.
• 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 a terrific source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed everything at check-out. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent ratings to compel more reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
