The Mighty Turtle -

Adorable 3 bedroom 2 bath bungalow located just 5 blocks from the beach and close to all Oak Island has to offer. The Mighty Turtle is modest enough for a charming hideaway, fishing trip, or big enough for a family vacation.

Unwind in the peaceful neighborhood, or walk to the beach for the impressive sunrises and sunsets. Savor your morning coffee or a invigorating drink from the screened in porch right off the Master Bedroom.

Entirely equipped kitchen, comfortable living room, and the kids will appreciate the sizable fenced in backyard- or go the bunk bed room equipped with a DVD player, games, puzzles, books for hours of fun filled play time. Or sit on the sectional couch and relax from a fun, sun filled day on the beach.

Don't forget to have a cookout in the backyard and remember all the fun times you had on your vacation to Oak Island and The Mighty Turtle.

Finding the best vacation rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
Summer time is high season in Oak Island. Booking a rental in the Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your family qualifies for a special rate.
Property managers usually offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
Look for your local Brunswick area visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, travel guides contain discounts for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to pick the perfect rental in Oak Island:

Begin by choosing your vacation dates and a maximum budget.
Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Charming 3BR\/2BA Home Located on a Direct Beach Access Street-Sleeps7 has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is often available on booking pages. If not, email or call the property manager before reserving your rental. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or applied to your invoice.
If there's a certain Brunswick area destination you are enamored with, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.

Advice for your stay:

Add the host's phone number to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of concerns.
Lock your rental while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
During check-in, note any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
Re-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at departure. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Record a video to document the condition of the property.
After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on great feedback to inspire new reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review find their best vacation home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
