We look forward to welcoming you and your family (including dogs) to Bird’s Eye View, our 4 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home, on pilings with elegant marsh and ocean vistas and simple beach access. This 3rd-row vacation home is located on the peaceful West side of Oak Island with enchanting vistas of both the ocean and salt marsh. The home includes a cavernous two-story family room filled with natural light and plenty of seating for everybody to relax after a day in the sun.

This home is managed by the owners, rather than a property management company, so you'll receive personal attention to answer your questions or address any issues. Check out the reviews, all of which are 5-star! We're also happy to provide tips on eateries and things to do in the area.

You’ll savor cooking in the well-equipped enormous kitchen complete with dining area or on a propane grille looking out over the marsh on the back deck. No matter where you are inside or out you will have the ability to slip away and appreciate a beautiful and peaceful lookout.

The bedrooms are carefully spread around the home. The primary bedroom (Queen) is tucked away offering privacy and includes a brand new (2023) ensuite bathroom and huge closet and window seat. A twin bedroom is located on the same floor with a powder room close by. The upstairs guest rooms share a new bathroom, with a opulent soaking tub (and shower) located off the hallway. The King bedroom has a private Oceanview sitting room and flat screen tv. The Queen guestroom has access to the private rooftop deck overlooking the marsh with comfortable Adirondack chairs for your morning coffee or to watch handsome sunsets. Hidden behind a barn door on the main floor is a comfortable den and desk/monitor setup overlooking the back deck and marsh, ideal for both peaceful remote work or Zoom Calls, reading or just calming.

After you’ve appreciated the sun and surf at the beach, rinse off in the outdoor shower with hot and cold water and then relax on the back deck or front porch. Parking under the home and on sizable driveway is available for full family and guest use. No need to deal with OKI's new (2023) parking restrictions.

We invested in High-Speed internet for our guests. The four TVs are "intelligent" or include firesticks so you can log in to your favorite streaming programs with YOUR log-in credentials for Netflix, Disney +, Prime Video, Hulu, Paramount+, DIRECTV Stream, YouTube TV, Spectrum Streaming, etc., etc. or even your Gaming systems.

But most of the time you'll be outdoors! Included for family fun are outside / beach accessories, such as beach chairs, an umbrella, corn hole boards, firepit, etc. A ping pong table is setup in the garage for team play! There are also a couple of bicycles for your use.

The home comfortably sleeps 8 in 4 bedrooms with additional room for 2 guests with additional twin beds. Linens and towels are not supplied, so you may either bring your own or contact Beach Stuff Linen Rental (www.rudd.com/beach-stuff-linen-rental).

Strategies to get the perfect Oak Island rental home experience:

Finding the best rental home value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To book the most suitable vacation home within budget, we recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach area magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines have offers and deals for local tours and attractions.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Begin by choosing vacation dates and a budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group needs. West End home with Amazing Ocean and Wetland views, steps from the beach. has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the property management company before booking your rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine what is optimal for your trip.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
• Some properties allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Know before you go:

• Get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. Put the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Record any damages to the property during check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be helpful if damages are assessed.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents many issues.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let thieves spoil your holiday.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, remember to take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on good feedback to stimulate more bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
