Welcome to our family's piece of heaven: the Blue Barracuda! We've designed the ideal beachfront space to create cherished family memories and comfortably home huge families & groups.

As the home has just been finished, we'll post refreshed, furnished photos when available, but for now, I'm happy to answer questions about the broad amenities planned and have listed detailed descriptions of each room below. Opens in March!

Note: Summer reservations available Sat-Sat

Also Note: Although we have 6 bedrooms, we have priced it equal to comparable 5 BR properties because our rooms are on the modest side and the sixth bedroom is really only comfortable for kids.

Ground Level:
- Parking in paved driveway and under home
-Walk straight out to the beach
-Storage closet full of beach toys: pool floats, 6 beach chairs, Shibumi shade, sand toys, bicycles for all ages (including 4 adult beach cruisers, 6 kids bicycles, 2 scooters and a bicycle carrier), beach ski ball, corn hole, 2 inflatable paddle boards, 2 kids kayaks, 2 adult kayaks (kayak launch for intracoastal waterway .3 mile walk from home at SE 9th St), pickle ball rackets, sand toys and beach towels
-Game area: outdoor ping pong table and darts
-Elevator reaching all floors of the home

Main Level
-Living Room: Wall-to-wall windows showcasing the shining elevated pool and glittering ocean beyond, comfortable seating, 75" intelligent TV and fireplace.
-Dining Area: The open layout accepts for groups to sit and play board games around the upsized, bespoke dining table, while chatting with those taking in the view from the living room or prepping a family dinner in the kitchen.
-Kitchen: Brand new kitchen, entirely outfitted to facilitate feeding sizable groups, additional seating available at the peninsula.
-Bedroom 1: Unobstructed beach vistas, a king bed, intelligent TV, and an ensuite with an additional deep soaking tub.
-Bedroom 2: Kids room - Twin bunk bed and ample toys and a intelligent TV, accepting for a dedicated play spot for the kids when they need a break from the surf and sun. Note the bottom bunk is a tri fold twin bed that can be folded for additional play space under the play home. This room is very tiny and has no en-suite and is best suited for kids.
-Exterior: The elevated pool deck overlooking the beach and ocean has everything a group needs for the ideal beach trip. Between the outdoor shower to rinse off, propane grille for cookouts, stairs leading directly to the beach, and ample outdoor seating including loungers, an outdoor dining table, and a conversation set surrounding the fire pit, your group may never make it inside. Savor evenings with the sounds of the ocean and the crackling fire or gaze at the stars from the hot tub as everybody unwinds from playing pool basketball or volleyball and splashing in the ocean all day. Please note, the pool can be heated for $100/day.

Second Level
-Bedroom 3: King-sized bed with sliding glass doors accessing a second-level deck for unobstructed, expansive beach vistas. This room has an ensuite, intelligent TV, and walk-in closet.
-Bedroom 4: This room mirrors bedroom 3, with a king bed, sliding glass doors out to the second level deck, ensuite, intelligent TV and walk-in closet.
-Bedroom 5: This room includes a queen bed, twin bed and intelligent TV. A modest closet is located in the ensuite for this room.
-Bedroom 6: The bunk room was designed to sleep up to eight kids and includes a intelligent TV and ensuite with a separate toilet room for privacy, double vanity and enormous bathtub/shower combo. Note floor plan makes beds appear to be twin beds, but they are two full over full bunk beds (4 full beds total). If the adults get too boring, this room also provides an escape for the younger members of the group with a huge TV, a kid play couch and bean bag chairs, as well as a Wii.
-Deck: The second level deck is accessed through bedrooms 3 and 4, but offers ample space for the whole group for unobstructed stargazing at nighttime, sunrise coffee or a sunset viewing event. One of our favorite things about Oak Island is that it offers striking sunrises and sunsets, so we wanted to ensure we offer the ideal place to take in both.
-Loft: The mini refrigerator, microwave, toaster and coffee maker provide slow, painless mornings for those who prefer to sip their coffee in private on the upper balcony before interacting with the bigger group in the kitchen. There is a TV and the play couch and bean bag chairs can be moved here from the bunk room for an additional viewing area.
-Washer/Drier: The brand new washer and drier will quickly get your swim suits ready for another day in the sun.

Note to Parents: As a mom of four young kids, my passion for owning a vacation rental comes from my want to provide the ideal space to create family memories and appreciate family vacations that really feel like a vacation, even while chasing tiny humans. Because of that, every decision in the build process took into account how to best serve families with kids to maximize fun, safety and sleep. For example, two of the king rooms have walk in closets large enough to contain a pack n play and have no outlets or light switches within a kid's reach, there is only one door from the home to the pool and it has a latch out of kids's reach, the outdoor entrance to the pool also has a gate, we chose round door knobs because they can be childproofed easier and we have a sound machine and black out curtains in every room. Additionally, don't worry about packing your infant gear, because if a kid, toddler or infant can use it, we probably have it (but definitely check the list below or message me to make sure).

Southport rental booking tips and tricks:

Sticking to your spending plan:

• Summertime is high season in Oak Island. To find the best value, try changing your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• In the Southport area, The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your vacation property six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites typically offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guides contain offers and deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Selecting the best rental in the Southport area:

• Select dates and max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. New Construction-Beachfront-Private Pool heat option-Hot Tub-Elevator-6BR 5.5BA has 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport vacation rental search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before you book the rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to establish what configuration is optimal for your vacation group.
• Looking for special amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your group is bringing pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your stay:

• Add the owner's information to your phone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To make sure that damages are not attributed to your stay, make note of any problem areas during arrival. Call the rental manager immediately to record any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many problems.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a terrific source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• At departure, take a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Many rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. 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 review.
