About this Property

• Sleeps 7
• 3 Bedrooms

What a view! Take in the ocean vistas from the sunroom, living room, kitchen, and primary bedrooms. Appreciate the ocean breeze on the cavernous deck, rocking in a rocking chair or soaking up the sun on a lounger. There are plenty of toys to make your beach visit simple breezy including body boards, beach cart, cooler, beach towels and chairs. Inside there’s an air hockey table, 75” flatscreen TV with a guest Netflix account, Wi-Fi, and plenty of seating to spread out. Cozy seating for dining or working from the banquet dining table in the sunroom comes with an handsome view of the beach. Lil Salty is a striking and comfortable bungalow for most guests and although our bathrooms are on the smaller side, both showers have a detachable shower head wand to make it more comfortable.
Nearby, for your convenience is a King’s Beachware, Publix grocery store, and convenient eateries including, Pepperoni Grille for pizza, pasta, and salads. Checkout Kai Joe’s taco stand, or for a cold sweet treat there’s Dole Whips at the park!
Oak Island has a lot of amenities including putt-putt, a skateboard park, kids playground, movies and music in the park (seasonal), and so many delicious eateries. My favorite is Shagger Jacks - their fried chicken sandwich and skinny fries with comeback sauce is a winner!
The beaches at Oak Island are family friendly and welcoming to all! We only ask that you stay off the dunes and do not disturb the sea turtles in nesting season.
Lil Salty loves all people and animals, but asks that you keep your four legged friends at home.

Finding the best Oak Island vacation rental experience:

When to reserve a Brunswick area rental & When to go:

• Reserve your Brunswick area vacation home in the Fall or Spring to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• The earlier your group can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked early. Reserving your vacation rental six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Hosts sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines have discounts for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Choosing and booking the perfectvacation home:

• Begin by choosing potential vacation weeks and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Ocean front cottage has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available online. If you don't see them listed, contact the property owner before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to determine what is right for your group.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental
• If your group is traveling with pets, you will need a pet-friendly rental. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Additional considerations:

• Add the property manager's contact info to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Record any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if damages are assessed.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call 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 some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a fantastic resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let thieves spoil your family vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected everything. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Many rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
