Meaning an idyllic, exotic, or extravagant place, your island getaway awaits! Welcome to Xanadu.

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 huge 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 enormous 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 sizable refrigerator with ice maker, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, electric kettle, and blender. The roomy 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. The Garage is not available.
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.

Tricks and tips to get the best Oak Island rental home experience:

Finding the best value:

• The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are reserved very early. Booking your rental property 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To book the best rental home within budget, we strongly suggest booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines contain offers and deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Planning, selecting, and booking the best Brunswick area rental home:

• Select a group leader, select your dates, and choose a max budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Xanadu Oak Island - New Dog-Friendly Home in the Middle of it All has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the property management company before you book your rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine what configuration is right for your trip.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property manager about pets before booking.
• If there's a certain Brunswick area destination you love, keep an eye out for properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental

Considerations for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let thieves ruin your vacation.
• During check-in, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors bothering your peaceful home life. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a great time? Most rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
