These Are The Days - 2 Bedroom 1 Bath Home, Oceanfront, Dog Friendly, Sleeps 6

Perfectly named from a time when a beach vacation was calming. Have a cookout on the charcoal grille with family and friends or sit out on the oceanfront deck and take in charming ocean vistas, sounds of the waves rolling onto shore, and the healing salt sea air. Watch the kids play or the surf fisherman bring in the day's catch on the sandy shore below. "These Are The Days" offers great opportunity to slow down and appreciate unobstructed, expansive vistas of the beach, an outdoor shower, foot wash station, and the huge windows on the ocean side of the home that maximize the ocean vistas as you relax and relax in the living and dining areas. Watch the sunrise over breakfast or savor a charming sunset dinner. These Are The Days is also dog friendly, so bring your furry family members and furry friends along (only dogs under 30 lbs) to have some time away too. Close to all that Oak Island has to offer, These Are The Days will leave lasting memories year after year.

How to find the best Oak Island rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Book your rental property in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• The earlier you can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked very early. Booking your vacation property six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local visitors guide 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 stories, visitor guides contain offers and deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

How to choose and book the perfectrental home:

• Begin by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. 2BR\/1BA, Oceanfront Cottage, Amazing Views of Ocean, Dog Friendly, Sleeps 6 has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible online. If they are not listed, email or call the property management company before booking the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You'll need to work out what is suitable for your group.
• If there's a specific Wilmington, NC destination you crave, keep an eye out for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or costs could be applied to your invoice.

Know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Add a note with the instructions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• To make certain that damages aren't linked to your family's stay, inspect for any problem areas during arrival. Get in touch with the property manager right away to document any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few issues.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental home while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed everything on check-out day. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, remember to take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a terrific time? Many rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
