Welcome to Narnia, a 5 bedroom oceanfront vacation home on Oak Island! If you're familiar with The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe — you'll understand why this comfortable coastal bungalow is named after the magical world of Narnia! There's so much to appreciate here, with a private boardwalk to the beach, multiple spaces for appreciating the expansive ocean vistas, and a completely modernized kitchen. Plus, it's ideally located in the West Beach area, about a mile down the road from Lonerider and close to The Point.

On the main level, you'll find a bright, open floor plan for your family and friends to gather! The living space is complete with those fantastic vistas, an upsized sectional couch, two swivel chairs, and a huge flatscreen TV. The entirely refreshed kitchen has quartz countertops, bespoke herringbone tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, a drink refrigerator with an additional ice maker, a Keurig coffee maker, and bar seating for up to 4! A few steps away is the cavernous dining area with a impressive wooden table that seats up to 8. The real star of the show is the broad oceanside deck that features multiple places to sit and relax while you listen to the calming sounds of the waves or watch the sunset with your favorite drink in hand.

Two bedrooms are located on this floor — both with queen-sized beds and coastal touches throughout. These bedrooms share a generous Jack and Jill bathroom with 2 toilets, 2 vanities, and a tub shower combination.

Upstairs features a dedicated workspace in the loft area and the remaining bedrooms! The first bedroom has a queen-size bed and is attached to an extended bathroom with another set of 2 toilets, 2 vanities, and a tub shower combination. The second bedroom on this level has two twin beds, and last but not least, the third bedroom features a vibrant bunkbed room with an additional daybed and flatscreen TV!

Heading to the ground level, you'll find a additional living space (also known as the “game room”) with a sizable flatscreen TV and plenty of board games! The third full bathroom with a shower and the laundry room are also on this level. Outside has a exceptional shaded spot to sit, along with a shower with hot and cold water to rinse off the sand after a fun day out on the beach! Additional amenities include beach gear (like chairs and a wagon), high-speed internet for those who need to stay connected during their time here, and so much more! Ready to escape to Narnia?

Booking the best vacation rental experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a Wilmington, NC rental home:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the best value, try changing your family's Wilmington, NC vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer excellent temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter 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 friends and family at the beach.
• Some hosts offer promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines contain coupons for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Finding the best vacation home in Oak Island:

• Select vacation week and maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Oceanfront Cottage w\/ 3 Floors & Renovated Kitchen: Escape to Narnia has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is often available online. If not, email the property manager before reserving the rental. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Remember to include your furry companions! 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! Pet fees or costs could be applied to your agreement.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking

During your stay:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents lots of problems.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• To make certain no damages are attributed to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas upon check in. Make contact with the property manager right away to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a wonderful stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
