Located among the oaks and on the Intracoastal Waterway, Whitecaps offers a peaceful, calming coastal getaway full of extraordinary vistas and unique amenities to make the memories last forever.

The huge waterway facing deck highlights the property with plenty of Adirondack furnishings for relaxing while you watch the boats sail by on the Intracoastal. If you are looking to hit the water, the public boat access is just three blocks away!

Kids and adults alike will savor the downstairs game room finished with corn hole boards, a pool table and a ping pong table!

The interior welcomes you into the main living area, which provides plenty of seating with a sizable sectional and two recliners gathered around a huge flat screen TV with streaming capabilities.

The kitchen feeds off the living area and offers a enormous prep and cooking space finished with stainless steel appliances and a dining room table with seating for six. An additional table with seating for eight sits by the wet bar up the stairs!

The master suite flows from the opposite side of the living area. This space welcomes you with a king bed, flat screen TV and immaculate vistas or the waterway. This suite also features a private bathroom with a tub and walk in shower to pair with the dual vanity.

Located just a few steps up, a second living area provides an additional space to relax after a fun day on the island. Two recliners and a reclining couch center the room around a mounted flat screen TV with streaming capabilities.

A mini wet bar caps off this space with an array of drink glasses, a full refrigerator, full sink and ice maker.

A pair of queen bedrooms feeds from the second living space and offers a comfortable getaway to go along with a shared bathroom and TVs in each room.

The second level homes the final two bedrooms, furnished with a king bed and flat screen TV in each to pair with the shared bathroom.

A jumping off point for exploring the outdoors is just a few properties over where you can rent kayaks and paddle boards from the Long Beach Paddle Company! There are even racks on the dock to store all the toys! Note the boat lift if not for guest use.

Want another option for exploring the island? An owner-supplied 2022 six seat golf cart with Bluetooth and a backup camera can be rented for an additional fee of $450 per week. The golf cart has a town parking decal to make driving around the island much easier for you.

Strategies to get the perfect Oak Island vacation home experience:

How to get the best value:

• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To find the best value, try shifting your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer great weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies supply Carolina Beach area travel guides which will include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Finding the best rental home in the Carolina Beach area:

• Choose dates and budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Whitecaps: Intracoastal Waterway Home with Pool Table, Ping Pong, Dock has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often available online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property manager before booking the home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You will need to determine what bed configuration is right for your trip.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a rental that allows animals. Get details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, hosts charge additional pet fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make sure that no damages are linked to your stay, record any problem areas during check in. Get in touch with the host right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Employ the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Double-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on great reviews to inspire future bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
