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 astounding, 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 completely 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, huge 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 included 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.

Strategies for getting the best Ocean Isle Beach rental home experience:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To book the most suitable vacation home within your budget, we suggest reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at Brunswick area restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies often offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Often, property management companies supply Brunswick area area travel guides that include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Make a plan and pick your prefectrental:

• First, have your family select vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the 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 vacation rental search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is often accessible online. If they are not listed, email or call the property management company before you book the home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly rental. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Considerations for your stay:

• Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent a lot of problems.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Record any damages to the property at check in, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to confirm you didn't leave anything behind. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a fantastic stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to correct 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 comments.
