We look forward to welcoming you and your family (including dogs) to Bird’s Eye View, our 4 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home, on pilings with pretty marsh and ocean vistas from 3 decks and painless beach access. This 3rd-row vacation home is located on the peaceful West side of Oak Island with beautiful vistas of both the ocean and salt marsh. The home includes a cavernous two-story family room filled with natural light and plenty of seating for everybody to relax after a day in the sun.

This home is managed by the owners, rather than a property management company, so you'll receive personal attention to answer your questions or address any issues. Check out the reviews, all of which are 5-star! We're also happy to provide tips on eateries and things to do in the area.

You’ll appreciate cooking in the well-equipped huge kitchen complete with dining area or on a propane grille looking out over the marsh on the back deck. No matter where you are inside or out you will have the ability to slip away and savor a photogenic and calming lookout.

The bedrooms are carefully spread around the home. The primary bedroom (Queen) is tucked away on the main floor, offering privacy and includes a new (2023) ensuite bathroom and sizable closet and window seat. A bunkroom is located on the same floor with a powder room close by. The upstairs guest rooms share a new bathroom, with a extravagant soaking tub (and shower) located off the hallway. The King bedroom has a private Oceanview sitting room and flat screen tv. The Queen guestroom has access to the private rooftop deck overlooking the marsh with comfortable Adirondack chairs for your morning coffee or to watch impressive sunsets. Hidden behind a barn door on the main floor is a comfortable den and desk/monitor setup overlooking the back deck and marsh, ideal for both peaceful remote work or as a kids getaway, reading or just calming.

After you’ve adored the sun and surf at the beach, rinse off in the outdoor shower with hot and cold water and then relax on the front deck with vistas of the ocean or back deck with vistas of the marsh. Parking under the home and on enormous driveway is available for full family and guest use. No need to deal with OKI's parking restrictions.

We've invested in High-Speed internet for our guests. The four TVs are "intelligent" or include firesticks so you can log in to your favorite streaming programs with YOUR log-in credentials for Netflix, Disney +, Prime Video, Hulu, Paramount+, DIRECTV Stream, YouTube TV, Spectrum Streaming, etc., etc. or even your Gaming systems.

But most of the time you'll be outdoors! Included for family fun are outside / beach accessories, such as beach chairs, an umbrella, corn hole boards, firepit, etc. A ping pong table is setup in the garage for team play! There are also a couple of bicycles for your use.

The home sleeps 10 in 4 bedrooms (including a bunkroom with a twin over full bunkbed plus twin trundle). Linens and towels are not supplied, so you may either bring your own or contact Beach Stuff Linen Rental (www.rudd.com/beach-stuff-linen-rental).

Tips and Tricks for getting the best Wilmington, NC rental home experience:

When to go & When to book:

• Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a great way to save on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guide magazines which often include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Filter your search:

• First, have your family choose vacation dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Ocean & Wetland views, 3 decks, steps from the beach, 4 BRs, sleeps 10. has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available on booking websites. If not, call the property management company before you book your rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• Are you visiting for a single event? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• Store the owner's information in your smartphone.
• To make certain damages aren't linked to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas during check in. Get in touch with the rental manager right away to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Make sure to 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 family have a wonderful stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
