Searching for the ideal beach rental to serve as your homebase while you hop from adventure to adventure during your next hideaway? Then look no further than Lily’s Pad! Located on Caswell Beach, this ocean view home with a private pool and two hot tubs offers convenient public beach access and welcomes up to two dogs per stay.

Step into the comfortable living room and settle on the curved sectional to watch a movie on the huge intelligent TV or relax in front of the fireplace. Warm wood tones, shades of aqua and pops of tropical orange give off coastal vibes that harmonize with the splendid marsh vistas beyond. Pluck a novel from the mantle and settle in the recliner with your next beach read as you listen to shorebirds call.

The wooden dining table is set for six but can seat up to eight for meals or a friendly game of UNO or Monopoly. Five additional seats are available at the adjacent breakfast bar. The kitchen provides everything you need to prepare, whether you’re whipping up a fast afternoon snack or starting off the day with a full breakfast spread, along with plenty of serving and dinnerware.

Each bedroom in the home features a TV for personal entertainment, ceiling fans for comfort and the privacy of an en suite bath. The queen bedroom offers a pair of dressers and a wardrobe to ensure there’s plenty of room for your belongings. The attached bath is furnished with a pedestal sink and a step-in tile shower stall with a constructed-in shower bench. The twin bedroom also provides a dresser for storage, and the shower stall for this bath features a wide door and walk in entry that make it easier to aid younger kids. A laundry closet is conveniently located between these bedrooms with a full-sized washer and dryer.

The master suite is located on the upper level with a door at the bottom of the stairs to offer additional privacy. The loft-style room with vaulted ceilings is broad and furnished with a king bed, where you can wake up to vistas of the Atlantic via the sliding glass doors that lead to a modest balcony. A dressing area provides plenty of space to get ready each day, with a settee, wardrobe, vanity and full-length mirror available. A dining table against the wall means you can sneak a private meal upstairs away from the bustle of the group, and a private seating area accepts you to take in impressive vistas across to Southport from that sunbathed interior or the private deck beyond. The attached master bathroom offers a vanity with his and hers sinks and a enormous step in shower stall with an antique-style rain showerhead.

The rest of the family has access to gorgeous outdoor spaces as well! Appreciate your coffee on the covered front porch as you watch the sunlight reflect on the waves or look for porpoises playing in the surf. Dine al fresco on the partially covered back deck as the kids play in the pool below, or soak in the elevated hot tub without needing to venture down to the pool deck and appreciate the sweeping vistas of the horizon beyond.

The pool area is completely fenced for safety and features both a pool and a hot tub, as well as classic pool loungers where you can relax and soak in the sun. Pool heating is available upon advance request with an additional fee. A park grille is included for your family’s bar-b-que master, and you’ll also find a fish-cleaning station that your star angler can put to use. Tucked beneath the stairs is a sheltered outdoor shower with hot and cold water. While not entirely enclosed, this convenient rinse off is still private and a welcome aid for washing sand off of babies and fur-babies alike.

When you’re ready to head to the beach, the closest access point is just four homes to the left and across the street. If you need a break from the sun and sand, a variety of adventures await, from exploring the Oak Island Lighthouse that’s practically next door to venturing over the bridge into Southport to discover the oceanside town that you can see from your back deck! Or stay on the island and venture into the Oak Island city limits instead, where you’ll find a variety of stores, eateries, arcades and other activities that you can reach in a short drive of five to ten mins.. We know that however you like to fill the hours of your beach vacation, Lily’s Pad is the jumping off point you’ve been waiting for!

Guests should note that an additional pool heating fee is required for each day a guest requests pool heating. Guest must request the pool heating and pay the fee by calling the OIA office during normal business hours at least 48 hours prior to arrival. Pool heating is only available when temperatures are 55 degrees Fahrenheit and warmer.

Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect rental experience:

How to get the best value:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are high season in Oak Island. To find the most suitable vacation home for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite Wilmington, NC restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Some owners offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides have offers and deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• To start, have your family decide on trip dates and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group requires. Lily's Pad: Coastal Cottage with Pool, Two Hot Tubs has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is normally accessible online. If they are not listed, reach out to the property manager before reserving the rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine what configuration is right for your vacation.
• Some properties allow pets, but some don't. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the host about pet restrictions before booking.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

During your stay:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your . Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would back home.
• To make sure damages aren't linked to your visit, make note of any problem areas when you arrive. Get in touch with the property manager right away to report your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your peaceful home life. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• At departure, complete a walk-through to confirm you didn't leave anything behind. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a excellent time? Most rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
