What are the parking rules for Oak Island?
Your golf cart comes with a pre-paid residential parking pass.
Fines will be issued even with a residential parking pass if you do not follow the parking rules.
Any fines issued are your responsibility to pay prior to your check-out date. Deposits will returned once we confirm no fines were issued during your stay.
At spaces marked by BUMPERS: Vehicles must be parked straight & centered at a either a YELLOW or BLUE (handicapped) parking bumper (sometimes referred to as a "curb," "stub," or "stop block").
Parking is not permitted in unmarked or right-of-way (streetside) areas.
All unmarked areas in the Paid Parking Zone are assumed to be a “no parking” area; the absence of “No Parking” signage does not indicate parking is allowed.
CITATION FINES, PAYMENT, & DISPUTE
Parking tickets are civil citations issued as a physical note affixed to the windshield. No direct vehicle owner notification has been provided. If applied to a rental vehicle, it is up to the vehicle owner and driver to establish and agree upon personal notification responsibility if a ticket is issued.
