About this Property

What a view! Take in the ocean vistas from the sunroom, living room, kitchen, and primary bedrooms. Savor the ocean breeze on the roomy deck, rocking in a rocking chair or soaking up the sun on a lounger. There are plenty of toys to make your beach visit simple breezy including body boards, beach cart, cooler, beach towels and chairs. Inside there’s an air hockey table, 75” flatscreen TV with a guest Netflix account, Wi-Fi, and plenty of seating to spread out. Cozy seating for dining or working from the banquet dining table in the sunroom comes with an pretty view of the beach. Lil Salty is a beautiful and comfortable bungalow for most guests and although our bathrooms are on the smaller side, both showers have a detachable shower head wand to make it more comfortable.
Nearby, for your convenience is a King’s Beachware, Publix grocery store, and convenient eateries including, Pepperoni Grille for pizza, pasta, and salads. Checkout Kai Joe’s taco stand, or for a cold sweet treat there’s Dole Whips at the park!
Oak Island has a lot of amenities including putt-putt, a skateboard park, kids playground, movies and music in the park (seasonal), and so many delicious eateries. My favorite is Shagger Jacks - their fried chicken sandwich and skinny fries with comeback sauce is a winner!
The beaches at Oak Island are family friendly and welcoming to all! We only ask that you stay off the dunes and do not disturb the sea turtles in nesting season.
Lil Salty loves all people and animals, but asks that you keep your four legged friends at home.

Vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

How to get the best value:

• The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Reserving your vacation property up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• Booking your vacation rental in Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Some hosts and property managers offer rate reductions for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides contain coupons for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Planning and picking yourrental home:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your vacation week, and choose a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Ocean front cottage has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible on booking pages. If not, email the host before reserving your rental. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the owner about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• If there's a specific Wilmington, NC beach you are enamored with, keep an eye out for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

Tips for your stay:

• Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many concerns.
• Lock your rental while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your family's visit, make note of any problem areas upon check in. Get in touch with the property manager immediately to record any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers disrupting your home life. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a great stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or host was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
