OKI•VACAY introduces the "Steps from the Beach" Cottage. Feel the ideal blend of vintage appeal and modern comfort at our handsomely remodeled two-bedroom, one-bath bungalow on Oak Island, NC. Just steps from the beach (literally across the street), this enchanting getaway maintains its nostalgic character while offering refreshed amenities. Appreciate the comfortable living spaces adorned with classic coastal décor, entirely equipped kitchen, and inviting bedrooms that promise restful nights.

This Cottage offers 2 full bedrooms with Queen Size beds and also has an open loft upstairs (not shown in pics). Please keep in mind that this area is ideal for kids playing games or additional storage but when this Cottage was constructed the pathway up the stairs was typical to be narrow since it was mostly used for storage or attic.

Note: There is another Cottage adjacent to this property that shares a sizable outdoor deck with plenty of private space for each unit (Please see in pics). Excellent for a two-family vacation as they can be rented together. Having beach access across the street it can also host a modest wedding with pre & post ceremony gathering as well as a modest beachfront ceremony - inquire with owner - wedding packages only available in Spring and Fall/early Winter.

Animals are limited to no more than 2 dogs. Please confirm breed of dogs when booking. No other family pets other than dogs are allowed. A one time $125.00 per pet fee will be added to booking.

*If any dog exhibits aggressive or threatening behavior to neighbors guests may be asked to leave the property without a refund. Dogs must be controlled on a leash at all times unless they are inside the home.

Linens and towels are included with this rental. This does not include beach towels so please plan accordingly

This Cottage (Unit A) provides accommodations for 4 adults and includes on-site parking for 2 car. Please park cars as close to your corresponding unit as possible and be mindful to leave an adequate parking spaces for 1 car next door (Unit B). Note, most of the time travelers are bringing only one car so parking is not relevant but we need to be mindful in certain circumstances when there's more than 2 cars on the property. Driveway is designed to accommodate 3 total cars so there's ample space on most occasions. Note, Unit B next door is only supplied 1 parking space since it accommodates 2 adults (smaller unit).

Routine maintenance may be required during your stay. This includes lawn care and pest control. The companies will only access the exterior of the home unless you provide consent for the interior of the home to be treated as well.

Getting the best rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

  • Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
  • Summertime is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring is a good way to save on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
  • Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
  • Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
  • Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area travel guides that include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Filter your rental search:

  • Begin by selecting potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
  • Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Steps to the Beach Cottage: 2-bedroom 2nd Row Pet-Friendly Cottage has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
  • Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the property management company before you book your rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine which bed configuration is suitable for your vacation group.
  • Some rentals allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property manager about your furry family members before booking.
  • If there's a certain Wilmington, NC beach you are enamored with, keep an eye out for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
  • Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Considerations for your stay:

  • Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
  • Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of problems.
  • Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would back home.
  • To make sure damages aren't attributed to your stay, make a record of any problem areas upon your arrival. Get in touch with the property manager immediately to report your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
  • Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers disrupting your home life. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have not otherwise known about!
  • Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
  • Re-check the property to make sure that you've packed everything at check-out. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
  • Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
  • Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on good feedback to stimulate more bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.

Victory Beach Vacations

Visitors who are on the hunt for the postcard-perfect vacation rental in the heart of the Carolina Beach or Kure Beach area will find an enticing selection and plenty of friendly customer service when they rent through Victory Beach Vacations. Based in Carolina Beach in the coastal Cape Fear region, Victory Beach Vacations has more than 100 vacation rentals in all shapes and sizes to ensure that every vacationing family can find their dream home away from home on the beach.   When you book your Cape Fear getaway with Victory Beach Vacations, the fun doesn’t end when you leave the beach, it continues with an array of privately-owned properties outfitted with all of the amenities needed for a fabulous beach vacation.   Jenna Lanier, General Manager, explains that her family first opened the rental and property management business in 2002. At the forefront of Victory Beach operations is Lanier’s mother, Caroline Meeks. Meeks is both the Broker in Charge and co-owner with husband, Buck Meeks, who manages the Field Services team with Lanier’s husband, Scott.   For nearly 20 years, the Victory Beach team has worked tirelessly to establish a network of top-of-the-line rental properties for Cape Fear visitors to enjoy. “As far as our properties go,” explains Lanier, “they are all updated, well-furnished and appointed. “We have always performed post-cleaning inspections and since the pandemic, have put freshly laundered duvets over all of the comforters between rentals.”   Lanier emphasizes how important the guests experience is “we strive to give our guests a relaxing, stress free, memorable vacation.” This emphasis on customer service has led to Victory Beach Vacations having a 4.8 Google rating with over 300 reviews by happy owners and guests.In addition to Victory Beach’s superior sanitation practices, the company offers properties for every type of visitor. Choose from luxury oceanfront houses and condos to more reasonbly priced 2nd row properties with oceanviews. Many properties include pools and hot tubs as well, perfect for outdoor entertaining, and many are dog friendly.   Lanier also notes that all properties are within walking or driving distance to Pleasure Island’s main attractions – Carolina Beach and Kure Beach. The former, as described by Lanier, is the more commercialized of the two destinations and features a boardwalk, outdoor dining options and a plethora of weekly activities including fireworks, live music, amusement park pop-ups, and movies under the stars. Kure Beach offers a more residential feel with its fishing pier, intimate restaurants and family favorite, North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher.More water fun awaits, too. “There is a harbor and a canal that feed into the intercoastal. We have several properties on the harbor so guests can bring their boat, kayak, [or jet ski] and travel between islands,” says Lanier.   A stay with Victory Beach Vacations is an annual pilgrimage for most. “A large percentage of guests are previous guests. Some even reserve the same property for the next year as they’re checking out,” Lanier says. “It’s almost like it’s their personal vacation home.”   Even before guests arrive at their vacation destination, the Victory Beach Vacations’ website greets them with a live beach cam and exquisite aerial footage of both Carolina and Kure Beaches.
