We found our favorite NC beach town. Come experience the beauty of Oak Island in this roomy refurbished bungalow under the most handsome twisted oaks on a peaceful street on the friendliest little island. Walk to the dock at end of the street to fish or read or launch your kayak to discover the historic intracoastal waterway and end your day watching the sun set over the water.
Oak Island's uncrowded beaches are just a 2 min. drive or 15 min. walk away.

Spend your days appreciating the miles of shoreline or hiking the overlook trails or taking daytrips to Southport or the Fort Fisher Aquarium or Bald Head Island and come back home to your bungalow under the oak trees. Entirely refreshed and designed for a beach vacation you'll want to keep coming back for.

You'll have painless access when you arrive using a passcode supplied prior to your stay. Plenty of parking on the paved driveway. The entire home and yard is yours to use, aside from a modest linen closet and garage.

The neighbors call this Dream Street. It's a peaceful and friendly little street with a dock at the end.

The island is simple to navigate. OKI is one of the last beaches with complimentary parking everywhere. For a super fun vacation you can rent a golf cart during your stay.

Feel complimentary to fill the birdbath and watch the birds savor. Turn on your bluetooth and hook up to PYLEUSA to start enjoying your music on the home speaker. There are beach towels and buckets just inside the front door and chairs and body boards outside the side door. There's a modest cooler in the kitchen for you to take to the beach. After your beach day hang your towels on the retractable clothesline off the deck that hooks to the tree.
There's a cornhole set under the couch and other board games on the coffee table.
There is plenty of hand soap, paper towels, trash bags, etc.
Feel complimentary to reach out with any questions you have. We're available and want to make your stay great.

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Oak Island vacation rental experience:

Find your best deal:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Southport area. Reserve your Southport rental in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. 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 your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies typically offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Southport area magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Choosing and booking the bestrental:

• First and foremost, have your group decide on date ranges and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Cottage by the Sea: Pagnotto Shellback House has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport vacation rental search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is generally available on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the property management company before you book the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Some rentals allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask your host about pet restrictions before booking.
• Does your group require unique amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

More tips for your visit:

• Get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your . Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of concerns.
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let thieves ruin your family vacation.
• To make sure that damages aren't linked to your family's stay, record any problem areas during arrival. Make contact with the host immediately to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your quiet neighborhood. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• On check-out day, take a final walk-through to make sure you have not forget any personal items. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on good ratings to stimulate future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will appreciate that you share your experience find their best vacation rental. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
