Savor the peaceful solitude of Oak Island at Heads Carolina, a new construction home finished in July of 2024. Featuring a private backyard pool getaway, modern beachy vibe and open floor plan, there’s plenty of space to gather both inside and out as you build memories to last a lifetime.

The roomy common area is bright and inviting, with recessed lighting throughout, calming sage green and white walls and accents in warm wood and sandy neutrals. Parlor on the couch to watch a favorite move on the enormous, wall-mounted flatscreen TV, or savor a hand of cards or evening meal at the sturdy dining table, which seats at least six comfortably. Four additional bar stools are available for the breakfast bar and sleek counter-height desk, an ideal perch for those who may still need to keep up with work or school while away from home. The entirely outfitted kitchen features gleaming stainless-steel appliances along with plenty of counter and storage space. A sliding barn door leads to the laundry room, where a full-sized washer and dryer are included so that sandy towels and swimsuits are ready for the next day’s adventures.

Just off the living room, the master bedroom features a king bed, a wall-mounted flatscreen TV and an attached private bath with a double vanity and step in shower. On the opposite side of the home, you’ll find the second bedroom, furnished with a queen bed and wall-mounted TV, as well as the bunk room, equipped with two twin-over-twin bunk beds. Between these two spaces is a full bathroom with a standard tub/shower combo and hall access.

Beyond the kitchen, the green of the surrounding trees beckons you out to the screened porch overlooking the pool. The ceiling fan ensures comfort even on days without a strong breeze, and furnishings for calming and dining make this a marvelous spot to spend evenings with a beverage in hand as the swimmers in your group splash below. Around the pool, you’ll find plenty more seating and a gas grille. Sway in the hammock chair and appreciate the shade below the home! The enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water is ideal for rinsing off sand after a long day at the beach. The front porch features both covered and open sections and looks out over a peaceful, tree lined neighborhood street. Appreciate your well-deserved respite with a stay at Heads Carolina!

Tips and Tricks to get the very best Southport vacation rental experience:

Getting the most from your vacation rental budget:

• The earlier you can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved early. Reserving your vacation property up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Southport area. Book your Southport vacation home in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies often offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Often, property management companies supply Southport area travel guide magazines that include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

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

• First and foremost, have your group choose trip dates and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group requires. Heads Carolina: Modern Home with Private Pool in Quiet Neighborhood has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is commonly available on booking pages. If they are not listed, reach out to the property manager before reserving the vacation property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of problems.
• Lock your rental home while you're out and about. Keep your property safe!
• During arrival, record any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be an excellent resource to find the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all personal items. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a great stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
