Are you ready to step Into The Mystic? Recently featured on Season Four of HGTV's Battle on the Beach as Team Alison Victoria's home, you'll adore the designer touches and broad renovations finished in early 2024.

With the beach right at your back door, savor the tranquility of an early morning beach walk where you can catch dolphins playing in the early morning sun or snuggle up on the deck as you get lost in the stars of the midnight sky. The ocean side covered deck is the ideal place to relax in the rocking chairs as you sip an icy cold drink from the huge ice chest. It has a bar with stools, and a table and chairs. The deck box is outfitted with beach items and toys, to sink your toes into the warm sand and appreciate the ocean breeze. 

Appreciate your morning coffee on the new quartzite counters as you gaze out at the grand ocean view from the picture window above the sink. Munch on some breakfast at the gigantic kitchen island. This beachfront vacation-ready home sleeps eight with two full bathrooms and one half bathroom. The warm and inviting living space makes this home the ideal place for the next family vacation, complete with infant and kid-friendly amenities, or a friend reunion. The upstairs movie room has a 65" T.V. and provides valuable additional space to relax; the sectional within is enormous and comfortable enough for two to take a mid-afternoon nap, or even to utilize as an additional sleeping space.

With four TVs, you have access to streaming services like Hulu, Hulu Live, Disney+ and ESPN+. You also have games and activities to keep you entertained as you rest and relax inside. Unwind, renew and spend time with adored ones at Into The Mystic.

Guests with allergies should note that although no family pets are allowed for guest stays, dogs may occasionally be present during owner reservations.

Finding the best rental home experience:

When to visit Oak Island & When to reserve a Oak Island rental home:

• In the Southport area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved very early. Booking your rental property 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• To get the best value, consider shifting your family's Southport vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer great weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides have money saving offers on nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Start by having your group select vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group requires. Into the Mystic: Family-friendly, Oceanfront Home on Island's West Beach has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is often available on booking websites. If not, reach out to the property manager before you book the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to establish what is best for your trip.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or costs applied to your invoice.
• If there's a certain Southport destination you are enamored with, search for homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Tips for your stay:

• Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Note any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be valuable if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Just before checking out, complete a walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
