Meaning an idyllic, exotic, or opulent place, your island getaway awaits! Welcome to Xanadu.

Offering an simple walk to the beach and Middleton Park, this freshly constructed, 3 bedroom, 2 bath home is **Dog-friendly and offers the amenities of home in a comfortable layout for you and your family to appreciate your Oak Island hideaway.

This modern home offers a enormous open space for playing games, watching movies, or planning your beach day. You can savor your morning coffee or an afternoon siesta on the screened-in porch while the kids and pups play in the private fenced-in back yard.
This home is in the charming Tranquil Harbor area of Oak Island, located in a peaceful spot where you can often hear the soft sounds of the surf off in the distance at high tide.

This beautiful location offers an painless walk (0.4 mile / 8-10 mins.) from the Oak Island Cabanas with the only public bathroom on Island and of course the beach. The home is just 0.2 mile to Middleton Park. There is a splash park for the kids, a huge playground area, ice cream and doughnut stores, pizza and sandwiches, eateries, and Publix grocery store.

At the other end of the street, an 8 - 10 min. walk takes you to a boat launch and the Long Beach Paddle Company, where you can rent kayaks and paddle boards or book a tour. Oak Island Fishing Pier is a short drive away, and you are only a ten min. drive from the public Oak Island Par 3 Golf course in Southport.

The kitchen is well-equipped (just like home) with a sizable refrigerator with ice maker, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, electric kettle, and blender. The roomy center island is great for food preparation, a nice breakfast, buffet space, or a gathering spot for planning your adventures. The living area’s open layout accepts everybody to have room to spread out while still being together.

The wrap-around screened porch is steps away from the outdoor shower and is located just off the kitchen. All bedrooms will have newly laundered linens in high season (May15 - September 15th) in bundles on your beds. Bathroom and kitchen towels will also be supplied during high season. Note that bath towels cannot be used at the beach, so please bring your own beach towels, or if you prefer, they can be rented separately and delivered to you. Since we are Dog friendly, we would ask that you bring dog blankets for your pups to use if they savor snuggling with you on the furnishings. There is also a raised dog bed so your dog has its own spot to relax and cool off. Each guest gets a welcome bag including starter supplies for your stay: hand soap, dish soap, dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, coffee and tea supplies, shampoo/conditioner, and body wash. The home also includes reliable fiber internet, a washer and dryer, self-check-in keypad, a beach wagon, and two adult bicycles
All the bedrooms have memory foam beds and intelligent TVs with fast internet (fiber). The primary suite has a king bed and bath with a walk-in shower and convenient double sinks. The second bedroom has a queen bed with a full bath in the hallway separating it from the third bedroom with two twin beds.

There are parking spots in the driveway with enough space to accommodate three cars.
Rented beach items and bicycles should be stored in the fenced backyard or garage.
***Dog Fees are $140.00 for up to 2 family pets. No upsized dogs like Bullmastiffs. No guard dogs like Belgian Malinois, German Shepherd, Rottweiler, or Doberman.

Tips to get the very best Wilmington, NC vacation home experience:

How to get the best value:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Book your rental home in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, rental management companies supply Wilmington, NC area travel guides that include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Filter your rental search:

• Select dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Xanadu Oak Island - New Dog-Friendly Home in the Middle of it All has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property manager before reserving the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you will need a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Does your family require particular amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .

More considerations for your visit:

• We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many concerns.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Make a record of any damages to the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be beneficial if a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great resource to find the best local beaches.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager is not available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
