For the ultimate in coastal relaxation, check in at Chick-Inn of the Sea! Appreciate super simple beach access around 250 feet away from this third-row home. When you’re ready for a break from the sand, your private pool getaway awaits instead. Savor beverages around the firepit as the kids splash the evening away. You can even let Fido romp around the fenced backyard, as this vacation rental accepts one dog weighing up to 50 lbs per stay.

Enter into a bright and welcoming open-concept living space, complete with the whimsical touches and eye-catching art you’ll find throughout the home. Gather together to appreciate a movie on the wall-mounted TV, which swivels if needed, or bask in the glow of the electric fireplace for peaceful conversation instead. All bedrooms in the home also include a TV for personal entertainment. The modern kitchen supplies all the appliances and cookware you need for preparing fresh local seafood or a favorite recipe from home. A sturdy dining table with bench seating along one side will hold six to eight adults comfortably, and an additional three barstools are available at the close by breakfast bar.

When it’s time to retire for the nighttime, you’ll find two master suites, each with its own private bathroom furnished with a tiled walk in shower. The first master suite overlooks the pool and features a king bed and walk in closet, while the second suite provides a queen bed. An additional guest room with a double bed shares hall access to a full bath with the final sleeping space, the bunkroom. With two twin-over-twin bunk beds and quirky locker storage, kids will adore all the fun pops of color.

Outside, listen to the waves as you sip your morning coffee from the covered front deck, complete with a variety of chairs and end tables, or keep a watchful eye on activity in the pool below from the outdoor couch on the back covered deck. On the ground level, your private pool getaway beckons. Lush tropical landscaping helps you feel secluded from the world beyond. Play a fast round of the unique pink flamingo ring toss game, lounge around the pool and soak in the rays or relax around the firepit with S’mores and stories. Savor a meal al fresco at the outdoor table and take advantage of the oh-so-Instagram-able bespoke mural as a backdrop with a quick shot of your culinary adventures!

Bringing your fur-infant along? Please note that dogs are not allowed in the pool and should not be left unattended in the fenced backyard, as all grassy areas there are artificial turf. A pet walking area is located in the front of the home, as well as pet waste elimination bags in a dispenser to make cleaning up after your pooch a breeze.

When you’re ready to head to the beach, you’ll find beach chairs, umbrellas and toys available for your use. You can even rent the optional golf cart supplied by the property, complete with a parking pass, for an additional $400 per week to keep the sand out of your own car. Plus, included bicycles make exploring the island painless, and when you’re ready to embark on an off-island adventure or two (whether heading into Southport to walk along the historic downtown and Cape Fear River or into Wilmington for attractions like Battleship North Carolina), you’ll savor the convenience of this location to the Middleton Bridge.

Tips and Tricks to get the best Oak Island rental experience:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation rental six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To book the largest rental home for your budget, we strongly suggest booking in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitor guides contain coupons for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by having your family agree to date ranges and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Chick-Inn of the Sea: Enjoy the Private Pool at This Dog-Friendly Third Row Home has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking pages. Otherwise, call the property manager before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to work out which bed configuration is suitable for your vacation group.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Get details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Does your group require special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

More tips for your visit:

• Get the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent quite a few difficulties.
• Lock your vacation home while you are out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Note any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if damages are assessed.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic resource to find the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all belongings. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a fantastic vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
