Are you craving a really next level vacation experience? Feel as though you’ve booked your own personal resort during your next Oak Island stay at Bird House. Savor modern elegance with pops of coastal flair and sunny color at this handsome East Beach property featuring a private pool.

From the moment you step through the cheerful yellow front door, you’ll savor the bright and airy open-concept living area. To the left, a handsome granite mantel anchors a comfortable seating arrangement. Gather here to stream a favorite movie or appreciate the ambiance created by the electric fireplace (guests should note that the fireplace is for effect only and does not provide a heating function).

Six cushioned barstools arranged around the center island invite the family to hang out in the heart of the home, the kitchen. Gleaming counters that match the mantel provide plenty of room to prepare meals, although the attached butler’s pantry accepts a more private space and plenty of storage, along with a number of modest appliances. This entirely supplied gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances will have the chef in your group feeling right at home as they season up the catch of the day or whip up a family beloved recipe. Dine bathed in natural light in the close by dining nook, where a sturdy wooden table seats six comfortably.

Just down the hall, you’ll find a full bathroom with a standard tub/shower combo, followed by the laundry room. All bedrooms in the property feature a wall-mounted Intelligent TV for personal entertainment. The queen bedroom is decorated in relaxing autumn shades, while the cheerful blue and yellow room features two double beds.

At the very back of the home, the spa-like master suite offers a sense of understated opulence. The opulent textures of velvet, suede and leather are scattered throughout the space, and accents of deep purple and metallic gold impress without overwhelming. Sink into the broad king bed, curl up on the armchair and ottoman or lounge on the padded window bench – there are no shortage of spots to relax here! If you simply can’t avoid work entirely during your stay, a modest desk is available as well. The ensuite bathroom features his and her basin sinks and an upsized vanity along with a huge walk-in closet and changing area that also attaches to the laundry room. The step-in tiled shower features two opposing rain shower heads with individual controls.

The master suite also provides direct deck access to the screened-in porch on the back of the home, which guests can also reach from the hall. With curtains to block the sun on too warm days, comfortable seating, a ceiling fan and even a carpet, this outdoor living room can really be appreciated no matter what season you visit. Overlook the lush greenery just beyond the yard, or watch the kids splash in the pool below.

On the ground level, the partially finished garage provides a number of amenities, including a convenient half bath, a modest hangout space with a loveseat and plenty of beach equipment. You’ll also find the fun tiki bar, complete with a second full-sized refrigerator and a roll-up window that accepts access to the pool area for snack and drink pickup. Under the home, a number of cozy seating nooks provide spots for dining, calming or conversation. The enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water makes rinsing the sand off before hitting the water a breeze! Unwind pool side on the padded loungers or prepare up an entire feast at the outdoor kitchen, located under a shady pergola.

When you’re ready to enjoy Oak Island’s famed beaches, a brief walk takes you to the sand via the 26th Place East beach access in under five mins.. In the evenings, enjoy walking the breathtaking crossover at 29th Place East toward the Oak Island Rec Center for some of the most exceptional sunset vistas on the island and plenty of wildlife viewing opportunities. Rent a kayak or paddleboard and discover the waterways via the public kayak launch point on the other side of the boardwalk. And if you decide to undertake an off-island adventure during your stay, this home’s convenient location makes heading to Southport, Wilmington or even Myrtle Beach simple with painless access to either bridge connecting to the mainland.

Everyone deserves a little luxury in their life! Appreciate the ultimate beach holiday and book your stay at Bird House today.

Strategies to get the best vacation home experience:

Getting the most from your spending budget:

• To get the best vacation home for your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite Wilmington, NC restaurants and activities.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines contain offers and deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

How to choose the best rental:

• Choose a group leader, select your dates, and select a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your family needs. Bird House: Contemporary Coastal Elegance with Swimming Pool has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally available on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the property management company before booking the home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• Traveling with pets? 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! Additional fees or costs could be applied to your agreement.

Tips for a fantastic stay:

• Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Document any issues with the property at check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be valuable if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents many issues.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent source for finding the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on good feedback to inspire future bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
