Searching for the ultimate getaway for a coastal hideaway with your family, friends, and furry pals? Look no further than Sun and Waves — a splendid pet-friendly 3 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom vacation home on Oak Island! It's conveniently located between the beach and Montgomery Slough, giving you the best of both worlds: ocean and marsh vistas! Highlights include a private pool, multiple balconies, two massive primary suites (both with additional trundle daybeds), and so much more. Plus, it's a short walk to the beach and less than 2 miles from the Ocean Crest Pier, where you'll find oceanfront eateries and fantastic fishing.

Appreciate your morning coffee or the famed sunsets from one of the two oceanside balconies with your furry family members! The lower balcony features a bench swing and multiple chairs; it even has a gate to keep the doggies from going to the beach without you. The upper balcony offers spectacular ocean vistas and has a dining table ideal for playing games or eating together! Heading to the ground level, you'll find the cavernous private pool with wide steps and various multi-level spots for sitting and calming partially underwater. There's ample seating in this fenced-in area with two tables and multiple lounger chairs to relax in the sun or watch the stars together at nighttime. And when it's time for some beach waves, all you need are your leashes! Beach chairs and a wagon are included to make the fast walk to the shore a breeze.

Inside, you'll be greeted into the calming yet fashonable living space with coastal vibes and comfortable couches to kick your feet up after a long day of fun in the sun! Turn on the tropical-weave ceiling fan for an interior breeze, and watch your favorite shows or movies on the flatscreen TV. The galley-style kitchen features granite countertops, a sizable double sink, stainless steel appliances, and an abundance of extravagant cabinetry. Have a master griller in your group? There's even a gas grille on the back balcony to prepare your freshly caught seafood and favorite recipes! When it's time to gather around for meals, you'll find a refined dining table with seating for up to 8 and a bar top area that seats up to 3. If you prefer dining outside, there are many options — including the bistro dining set on the back balcony, where you can overlook the marsh and pool.

The downstairs primary bedroom suite is enormous! It features a king-size bed, a flatscreen TV, and an ensuite bathroom with dual vanity, ample storage space, and a tub/shower combination. You'll also find an attached sunroom with a twin daybed with a twin trundle that can be closed off with a sliding door. The upstairs primary suite is just as broad and has a matching setup — king-size bed, ensuite with tub/shower combination, and additional sunroom with a twin daybed with a twin trundle. The third bedroom is located on the top floor and is great for the younger travelers in your group with themed comforters and 2 sets of bunk beds (one is a twin over twin, and the other is a double over double). It also has an ensuite bathroom featuring an extended vanity and a walk-in corner shower.

There's no way for us to list all of the amenities you'll find at Sun and Waves, like the half bath and laundry room combination on the main floor! There's even an outdoor shower with hot/cold water and wireless internet if you need to stay connected while you're here. Sound like the ideal hideaway for you and your group? Book your stay today!

Rental booking tips and tricks:

Money saving strategies:

• In the Southport area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early. Booking your rental property 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• To book the largest vacation home for your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at Southport restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Some owners offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides contain coupons for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

How to select the perfect vacation rental in the Southport area:

• First, have your group decide on date ranges and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. 3rd Row w\/ Private Pool, 2 Primary Suites & VIEWS has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rentals search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is almost always available online. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before you book the vacation property. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or charges could be applied to your contract.
• If there's a particular Southport attraction you simply love, search for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

More tips for your visit:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents many problems.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Upon check-in, document any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect 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.
