3 Bedroom (one bedroom is the loft) with Private HEATED Pool (no additional fee April-October for heated pool like most units), Pool Table, Ping Pong Table, Tiki Bar, Air Hockey, Foose Ball, On the Water

The 54 Richmond Street bungalow is a marvelous, professionally landscaped beach vacation destination with a private swimming pool in back yard (not under the home). The bungalow includes a private 20x8 foot dock with ladder on deep cement canal available for boating and swimming. The entirely enclosed underneath of this bungalow features the following striking vacation amenities:

Underneath the home:
1) a professional-sized pool table
2) a professional-sized ping pong table
3) a bar area that opens to the back deck
4) a bathroom
5) two TV's
6) a gas grille
7) a refrigerator/freezer
8) stairs leading up into the main level of the bungalow.
9) Air Hockey Table
10) Foose Ball Table
11) Fishing rods to use off dock or beach. Technically, if 16 or older, you need a NC Saltwater fishing license. However, it is not likely you will be checked on the dock or the beach. If in a boat, very likely you will be stopped and EVERYONE on the boat will need a fishing license if ONE rod is on the boat, no exceptions from the game warden)
12. Enclosed hot water outdoor shower. Please wash off after trips to the beach before getting into the poor or home.

The main level of the bungalow features three bedrooms (the loft is counted as one of the bedrooms), two full baths, three TV’s, washer, dryer, loft, enormous great room, covered front and back porches, and more – all porches painted in 2018 and the front porch was repainted in 2021. The property originally was constructed with an additional bedroom that has been knocked out to create a bigger sitting area.

This bungalow is attractively located on a cement canal 1 lot away from the corner at the end of Richmond Street - safe for kids to play in the street as there is not much traffic. Fishing is generally better at the end of streets as you can cast into the Richmond Street Canal or the Main canal running along Craven Street from the dock.

The 54 Richmond Street bungalow is on the right side of the street; at Ocean Isle this puts the hot afternoon sun on the front of the home keeping the back yard mostly in the shade after 1 pm, which is ideal for grilling, swimming, and playing.


Two full baths on main level of bungalow, and half bath underneath bungalow and a enclosed hot water shower outside.

Fridge/Freezer upstairs, and another refrigerator/freezer are supplied underneath bungalow.

No Extra Charge for Heated Pool April-October. We can talk about heating the pool based on the weather in March and November, so please ask. I keep the pool at 85. Industry standard is 80 to 83 with a max recommended from the health department is 84 to 85. Guest are not allowed to adjust the pool temp, but I will have someone lower the temp if desired (not likely this will be wanted). I have the biggest heater made for a pool (it will heat a pool well over 10 times the size at the property), but if booking in early April, or late October there is no guarantee the heater can keep up if the weather is abnormally cold.

Tricks and tips to get the perfect Ocean Isle Beach rental experience:

Sticking to a budget:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Brunswick area area. To get the largest vacation home within budget, we recommend booking in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at Brunswick area restaurants, tours, and activities.
• The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are reserved very early. Reserving your rental six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base 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 evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Brunswick area visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines contain coupons for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Planning and choosing a perfect Brunswick area rental:

• Start by having your family decide on a vacation week and a budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Ocean Isle Beach, NC Cement Canal Lot With HEATED Private Pool has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is commonly accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the property owner before you reserve the rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Looking for particular amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or costs applied to your agreement.

Considerations for your stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• Make a record of any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be very helpful if damages are assessed.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents many problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors bothering your peace. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• On check-out day, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on good ratings to stimulate future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
