You’ll also savor sitting outside in our guest sitting area with your fav evening drink and taking in the peaceful.

Island Sense’s guest suite is a thoughtfully designed studio above our garage. We have a kitchenette with mini refrigerator & separate freezer… microwave… kuerig coffee maker… electric tea pot… plates & silverware etc are all supplied.

Parking is simple and complimentary here (note from April 1st thru Sept 30 one needs to pay to park at the beach… but from our place you can comfortably walk and save that $$!)

All guests have a separate guest entrance and side yard nearly completely to themselves. Please note that we live in the main home on the property but rarely use the outdoor shower in the side yard.

We have a friendly outdoor cat named Tippy who might come to visit you. She believes anyone on our property has (obviously, lol) come here to see her. Feel complimentary to ignore her or appreciate on her.

We do not allow guests to bring family pets/service animals here because of Tippy and our elderly dog, Ellie, who is very scared of other dogs.

The owners have freshly installed a pool but due to insurance and liability issues, pool access for all guests is NOT supplied. We apologize, but please when booking a stay here, do so with the understanding that all guests are prohibited from using the pool. Thank you for understanding.

Please no smoking of any kind indoors. If you smoke, please let us know so we can put an ashtray outside for you. Thank you.

If you would like to rent bicycles, a golf cart, shibumi shade etc, please message me and I can send you info on local businesses who rent these items.

We live in a peaceful neighborhood so we do not allow events and ask that guests peaceful down at 10pm.

We ask that all adult guests are 21+. If you’d like to bring an older kid or a third guest, please message us to see if it’s possible.

Thank you for considering our little slice of heaven for your next vacation! We hope to host you soon!

How to get the best Oak Island vacation property experience:

Finding your best deal:

Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
To book the most suitable rental within your budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at Southport restaurants, tours, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your family qualifies for a special rate.
Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
Look for your local Southport area magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guide magazines contain discounts for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Choosing and booking the rightrental:

Choose a designated group leader, choose your vacation dates, and choose a budget.
Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Adorable guest suite ~ only half a mile straight down the street to BEACH has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the property manager before booking the vacation property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to establish what is best for your vacation family.
If your group is traveling with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge additional pet fees.
If there's a certain Southport beach you love, search for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

More tips for your stay:

Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few problems.
Lock your vacation home while you're out. Protect your property!
Upon arrival, note any damages to the property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
Be a good neighbor. Often times, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
Just before checking out, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Record a video to document the condition of the property.
After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on good feedback to inspire future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your feedback find their best vacation home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
