We found our favorite NC beach town. Come experience the beauty of Oak Island in this roomy refurbished bungalow under the most handsome twisted oaks on a peaceful street on the friendliest little island. Walk to the dock at end of the street to fish or read or launch your kayak to discover the historic intracoastal waterway and end your day watching the sun set over the water.
Oak Island's uncrowded beaches are just a 2 min. drive or 15 min. walk away.

Spend your days appreciating the miles of shoreline or hiking the overlook trails or taking daytrips to Southport or the Fort Fisher Aquarium or Bald Head Island and come back home to your bungalow under the oak trees. Entirely remodeled and designed for a beach vacation you'll want to keep coming back for.

You'll have painless access when you arrive using a passcode included prior to your stay. Plenty of parking on the paved driveway. The entire home and yard is yours to use, aside from a modest linen closet and garage.

The neighbors call this Dream Street. It's a peaceful and friendly little street with a dock at the end.

The island is simple to navigate. OKI is one of the last beaches with complimentary parking everywhere. For a super fun vacation you can rent a golf cart during your stay.

Feel complimentary to fill the birdbath and watch the birds savor. Turn on your bluetooth and hook up to PYLEUSA to start enjoying your music on the home speaker. There are beach towels and buckets just inside the front door and chairs and body boards outside the side door. There's a modest cooler in the kitchen for you to take to the beach. After your beach day hang your towels on the retractable clothesline off the deck that hooks to the tree.
There's a cornhole set under the couch and other board games on the coffee table.
There is plenty of hand soap, paper towels, trash bags, etc.
Feel complimentary to reach out with any questions you have. We're available and want to make your stay great.

Tips to get the perfect Oak Island vacation rental experience:

Find your perfect rental home:

• To get the most suitable rental within budget, we strongly suggest booking in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at popular Brunswick area attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• In the Brunswick area area, The sooner your group can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Booking your rental home six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Some owners offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local Brunswick area area magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines have offers and deals for local tours and attractions.

Planning and choosing the right Brunswick area rental home:

• To start, have your family choose trip dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration you need. Cottage by the Sea: Pagnotto Shellback House has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally available online. If not, reach out to the property manager before reserving the rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• Add the host's contact info to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your visit, make note of any problem areas upon check in. E-mail the host right away to relay any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, television set or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of concerns.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• At departure, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out 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.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent ratings to inspire future bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience find their best vacation rental. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
