Welcome to our family beach home, with a partial sea view from the back deck and a front porch shaded by oak trees. Located in the peaceful Yaupon area of Oak Island, this “home away from home” is only steps away from the beach so you do not have to pay parking costs to savor the beach or pier. Savor handsome sunrises over the close by pier and spectacular sunsets along the beach. This ideal location is a short walk to eateries, coffee stores, and more! AND you’re just a 15-min. drive from the town of Southport or a 45-min. drive from the beach city of Wilmington, both historical locations with more waterside eateries and tons of family activities. So much to do - book while you can!

Our bungalow is a single story home with an open and airy feel. The main highlights are a enormous shaded front porch and sunny open back deck with peek-a-boo vistas of the ocean. Appreciate rocking on the decks or sitting on the swing seat and listening to the calming sound of the waves crashing on the beach.

The cozy historic town of Southport is 6 miles away and offers something fun for everybody! Boat tours, ferry to Bald Head Island, Waterfront Park, and a variety of waterfront eateries. The city of Wilmington is also only a 45 min.-drive away and while much busier than this area, it offers many fun family acitivities such as an aquarium, Jungle Rapids Family Fun Park, escape rooms, animal parks, and the historic riverwalk with waterfront eateries.

Tips and Tricks for getting the best Southport vacation home experience:

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

Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
Summer time is high season in Oak Island. To find the best value, consider shifting your vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warm weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your family qualifies for a special rate.
Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guide magazines have deals for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Narrow your rental Search:

Start by selecting the best vacation week and a spending budget.
Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Beach House Just Steps To The Ocean With Partial Sea View & No Parking Fees! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often accessible online. If you don't see them listed, email the property manager before booking the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
Some rentals allow pets, but some don't. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the owner about your furry family members before booking.
Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

Tips to have a terrific stay:

We recommend storing the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents a lot of problems.
Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let burglars spoil your vacation.
During check-in, record any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an incredible resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean 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 wonderful stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
