Offering an simple walk to the beach and Middleton Park, this freshly constructed, 3 bedroom, 2 bath home is **Dog-friendly and offers the amenities of home in a comfortable layout for you and your family to savor your Oak Island hideaway.

This modern home offers a sizable open space for playing games, watching movies, or planning your beach day. You can savor your morning coffee or an afternoon siesta on the screened-in porch while the kids and pups play in the private fenced-in back yard.
This home is in the beautiful Tranquil Harbor area of Oak Island, located in a peaceful spot where you can often hear the soft sounds of the surf off in the distance at high tide.

This charming location offers an painless walk (0.4 mile / 8-10 mins.) from the Oak Island Cabanas with the only public bathroom on Island and of course the beach. The home is just 0.2 mile to Middleton Park. There is a splash park for the kids, a huge playground area, ice cream and doughnut stores, pizza and sandwiches, eateries, and Publix grocery store.

At the other end of the street, an 8 - 10 min. walk takes you to a boat launch and the Long Beach Paddle Company, where you can rent kayaks and paddle boards or book a tour. Oak Island Fishing Pier is a short drive away, and you are only a ten min. drive from the public Oak Island Par 3 Golf course in Southport.

The kitchen is well-equipped (just like home) with a enormous refrigerator with ice maker, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, electric kettle, and blender. The cavernous center island is great for food preparation, a nice breakfast, buffet space, or a gathering spot for planning your adventures. The living area’s open layout accepts everybody to have room to spread out while still being together.

The wrap-around screened porch is steps away from the outdoor shower and is located just off the kitchen. All bedrooms will have newly laundered linens in high season (May15 - September 15th) in bundles on your beds. Bathroom and kitchen towels will also be included during high season. Note that bath towels cannot be used at the beach, so please bring your own beach towels, or if you prefer, they can be rented separately and delivered to you. Since we are Dog friendly, we would ask that you bring dog blankets for your pups to use if they appreciate snuggling with you on the furnishings. There is also a raised dog bed so your dog has its own spot to relax and cool off. Each guest gets a welcome bag including starter supplies for your stay: hand soap, dish soap, dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, coffee and tea supplies, shampoo/conditioner, and body wash. The home also includes reliable fiber internet, a washer and dryer, self-check-in keypad, a beach wagon, and two adult bicycles
All the bedrooms have memory foam beds and intelligent TVs with fast internet (fiber). The primary suite has a king bed and bath with a walk-in shower and convenient double sinks. The second bedroom has a queen bed with a full bath in the hallway separating it from the third bedroom with two twin beds.

There are parking spots in the driveway with enough space to accommodate three cars.
Rented beach items and bicycles should be stored in the fenced backyard or garage.
***Dog Fees are $140.00 for up to 2 family pets. No upsized dogs like Bullmastiffs. No guard dogs like Belgian Malinois, German Shepherd, Rottweiler, or Doberman.

Strategies to get the optimal Brunswick area vacation rental experience:

Get the most from your budget:

• The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are reserved early. Reserving your rental property up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Booking your vacation rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our favorite way to save money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Some hosts offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers typically offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Brunswick area visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guide magazines contain money saving offers on local tours and attractions.

How to pick the best vacation rental in Oak Island:

• First, have your group decide on dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Xanadu Oak Island - New Dog-Friendly Home in the Middle of it All has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the host before you book the property. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to establish what configuration is best for your vacation group.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must book a pet-friendly rental. Request details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Does your group require special amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.

More considerations for your visit:

• Add the owner's contact information to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of concerns.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let burglars spoil your family vacation.
• To make sure damages aren't attributed to your stay, make note of any problem areas upon check in. Contact the property manager immediately to report any damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Re-check the property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent ratings to propel future reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review find their best vacation rental. 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 quickly to fix it.
