Looking for the ideal bungalow to relax and appreciate the handsome Oak Island beach? Look no further.... The Barden Cottage is the ideal spot!

Located just steps from the sand and across the street from the public beach access, this 3 bedroom/2 bathroom home lends decades of family traditions while offering all of the modern amenities. Imagine yourself calming on the porch swing after a day at the beach on the gorgeous screened in front porch or rocking in the chair on the front deck while taking in the OKI sunset over the ocean. This open floor plan features freshly painted walls (2020) with the handsome exposed wood beams giving you the feel of a traditional beach bungalow that families yearn for.

Located just steps from the beach, you won't have to walk far to get back to the home for anything and the keyless entry eliminates the concern for lost keys. Don't feel like cooking or driving? Take a 7 min. walk to Island Way Restaurant and Bar - Oak Island's favorite ocean front dining experience. Need something quickly? The Beach Pantry convenience store is only 0.5 miles away - an painless walk. We are just a short walk from Oak Island's famed Ocean Crest Pier where you can fish without having your own gear- rods, bait, etc. available for rental.

Our goal is to provide our guests with the absolute best experience. We want you to feel like our home is your home throughout your entire stay. If you have a special occasion or surprise, please let us know and we will be happy to assist with making it exceptional! When you arrive you will find a plethora of information on area attractions, eateries, activities, etc.

Reserve today and start packing for your beach vacation!

Guest reservations of 3 to 21 nights come with a valuable credit to use towards beach gear units during your stay! You may use your credit for bicycles, beach chairs and umbrellas, beach carts, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, and more! The choice is yours! For this home you are eligible for up to $245.00 credit on any beach gear! Book now to reserve your gear today!

Please Note: Linens are included with your reservation and contain the following: flat and fitted bed sheets, pillowcases, bath towels, hand towels, and washcloths.

We know you want to relax without any stops at the store when you get to the island. To get you started we provide a welcome kit that includes trash bags, paper towels, toilet paper, dishwasher pod, washing machine pod, soaps, and shampoo/conditioner.

As you will find when selecting dates on the calendar, there are minimum stay requirements based on the season.

How to book the best Oak Island rental experience:

Get the most from your rental budget:

  • To find the best value, consider shifting your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warmer temperatures, , and reduced traffic. 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? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
  • Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
  • Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your group qualifies for a price reduction.
  • Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
  • Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides contain discounts for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

  • First, have your group select dates and a max budget.
  • Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Oak Island Beach - A charming cottage with a view you won't get tired of! The Barden Cottage has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
  • Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available online. Otherwise, email the property manager before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
  • Does your family require unique amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters.
  • Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental
  • Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or costs applied to your invoice.

Additional considerations:

  • Add the host's information to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
  • During check-in, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
  • Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
  • Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
  • Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
  • Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let burglars spoil your trip.
  • Re-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
  • Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
  • Did you have a great vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
