Summary:
BookSmart Properties presents: A Swell Life! This beautifully detailed 3bed/2.5bath OKI gem is just a few blocks from the beach. Stellar amenities include a private pool, Tiki bar, grill and fire pit. This home offers a stocked kitchen, cozy living space, and 3 thoughtful bedrooms for coastal comfort. With easy access to local restaurants, shops, and attractions, A Swell Life is the perfect setting for your next getaway. Come and visit Oak Island!
The Space:
Welcome to A Swell Life! The open-concept layout flows seamlessly from the living room to the dining and kitchen area. The kitchen is equipped with modern appliances and a pantry, giving the chef in your family plenty of space and equipment to prep delicious meals throughout your stay. The master king suite is located just off of the living room and features a full private ensuite bath. To the right of the living room is another bedroom with one double bed and one twin bed. A third queen bedroom offers deck access.
Enjoy the exclusive bonus living area on the ground floor, furnished with a queen sleeper sofa, TV, and tiki bar. After a day at the beach or lounging by the pool, unwind in the screened-in porch with a cool drink. Step outside to fire up the grill and enjoy outdoor meals with family and friends, or roast s'mores over the fire pit under the stars. Pool heating is available upon request for an additional fee.

Guest Access:
Detailed check-in instructions and a unique access code will be provided prior to arrival.
**Per HOA guidelines and local laws, the guests making the reservation must be at least 23 years old and be present during the entire duration of the stay. For non-family groups, all guests must be over the age of 23. If this rule or the home occupancy limit is breached, guests may be subject to fines or eviction.**
**Pet Policy: We’re happy to welcome one dog under 40 lbs with a $200 pet fee added to your reservation. A second dog will require prior owner approval and may include additional fees.
For the comfort and safety of all guests, dogs are not allowed in the swimming pool and must be friendly and nonaggressive, as service personnel may be onsite for lawn care, pool maintenance, or cleaning. We know your dog is part of your family and want them to feel welcome too, while keeping our home clean and comfortable for everyone. Please note, no cats are allowed due to allergies.
The home is stocked with a starter supply of paper products and toiletries to get going, but it is recommended that you bring or purchase more to last for the duration of your stay. Linens and towels are provided at no additional charge.
The Neighborhood:
Oak Island is a beach town that is separated from the mainland by the Intracoastal Waterway. Known primarily as a family beach town, it offers plenty of activities throughout the summer, including a variety of marathons/5Ks, live music, farmers markets, and more. The Intracoastal Waterway is popular for kayakers and fishing, and the town has plenty of golf courses, nature walks and biking for those who like to stay on land.
Getting Around:
The exact property address and home details will be sent to you with the check in instructions so you can easily plan your travels.
Other Things to Note:
Payment schedule: 50% at time of booking, 50% or remaining balance due 30 days before arrival.
The following violations may be subject to additional fines up to $300: unregistered pets, registered pets falling outside the approved weight limit, late departure without approval by host, & house left excessively messy.
High speed Wifi is an amenity that is provided at the property but we cannot guarantee functionality for issues that are beyond our control. Potential Wifi outages will always be handled in a timely manner and resolved to the best of our ability. Unfortunately it is not guaranteed that our solutions will fix the issue and refunds will not be given for Wifi malfunctions.
Interaction with Guests:
I am here for you during your stay, but our level of interaction is up to you. I’m only a message away. You will be able to self check-in upon arrival.
