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, completely outfitted to facilitate feeding enormous groups, additional seating available at the peninsula.
-Bedroom 1: Main Level King: Unobstructed beach vistas, a king bed, intelligent TV, and an ensuite with an additional deep soaking tub.
-Bedroom 2: Kids room (modest, no ensuite) - Twin bunk bed and generous 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 with two full over full bunk beds and includes a intelligent TV and ensuite with a separate toilet room for privacy, double vanity and huge bathtub/shower combo. If the adults get too boring, this room also provides an escape for the younger members of the group with a sizable 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 gorgeous 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 makers 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.

**Please 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.**

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).

Tricks and tips to get the best vacation home experience:

How to get the best value:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Southport area. To get the best value, try changing your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer great temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked very early. Reserving your vacation property 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies supply Southport area visitor guide magazines that include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Start by selecting vacation dates and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. New Construction-Beachfront-Private Pool, heat option-Hot Tub-Elevator-6BR 5.5BA has 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is normally available on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the property manager before you book the home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine what bed configuration is optimal for your vacation.
• Visiting for a single event? Try a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property managers charge additional pet fees.

Tips to have a wonderful stay:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• At Check-in, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent quite a few problems.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let thieves ruin your trip.
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a great time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order 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 review.
