This 3rd-row vacation home is located on the peaceful West side of Oak Island with handsome vistas of both the ocean and salt marsh. The home includes a cavernous two-story family room filled with natural light and plenty of seating for everybody to relax after a day in the sun.

You’ll savor cooking in the well-equipped enormous kitchen complete with dining area or on a propane grille looking out over the marsh on the back deck. No matter where you are inside or out you will have the ability to slip away and appreciate a beautiful and relaxing lookout.

The bedrooms are carefully spread around the home. The primary bedroom (Queen) is tucked away offering privacy and includes a brand new (2023) ensuite bathroom and sizable closet and window seat. A twin bedroom is located on the same floor with a powder room close by. The upstairs guest rooms share a new bathroom, with a extravagant soaking tub (and shower) located off the hallway. The King bedroom has a private Oceanview sitting room and flat screen tv. The Queen guestroom has access to the private rooftop deck overlooking the marsh with comfortable Adirondack chairs for your morning coffee or to watch handsome sunsets. Hidden behind a barn door on the main floor is a comfortable den and desk/monitor setup overlooking the back deck and marsh, ideal for both peaceful remote work or Zoom Calls, reading or just calming.

After you’ve adored the sun and surf at the beach, rinse off in the outdoor shower with hot and cold water and then relax on the
front deck with vistas of the ocean or back deck with vistas of the marsh. Parking under the home and on huge driveway is available for full family and guest use. No need to deal with OKI's new (2023) parking restrictions.

Strategies to get the very best vacation rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To get the most suitable vacation home for your budget, we recommend booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite Brunswick area restaurants and activities.
• In the Brunswick area area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your rental home up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local Brunswick area area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guides contain discounts for local tours and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select a designated group leader, choose your trip dates, and select a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Ocean and Wetland views from 3 decks, steps from the beach. has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is commonly available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property manager before you book the property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to work out what is right for your trip.
• Visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

Tips for your stay:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Document any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if damages are assessed.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific resource to find the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on great reviews to propel new reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
