Pelican's Perch is a single level bungalow with 3 bedroom/2 baths, located on the west end of the island (6 streets from the Midland road beach access). The home has been newly refreshed with updated decor, 1 Serta Icomfort king bed, plush queen bed, and 2 plush XL twin beds; sheets are included. There is a screened in porch to keep you away from cousin skeeter (that's southern talk for mosquitoes) and to keep you out of the sun. There are two tvs with YouTube TV, a roku, an apple tv, dvd, and plenty of movies. All bedrooms, living room, and screened in porch have ceiling fans. It is close to eateries, grocery stores, shopping, boat ramps, piers, lighthouses, a movie theater, putt putt, and ....of course...the BEACH.

It is a short 1 mile drive/walk to the beach and only one street away from the intracoastal waterway, Yacht Drive. Yacht Drive offers impressive vistas of the Intracoastal waterway while walking or cycling. There is a public walkway/dock overlooking the intracoastal on 4th, 5th, and a modest park on 14th street.

Oak Island has miles of beaches, Plenty of beach accesses, public boating access facilities, breathtaking walkways, two fishing piers and tons more. There is also a city center with 5 public tennis courts, soccer/ball field, skateboard park, and new playground. They also hold modest festivals and outdoor concerts. NEW SPLASH PAD open from 10-6, daily. It is located in Middleton Park Annex behind Town Hall. A modest private airport is just off the Island and offers plane island tours and parachuting. There are multiple marinas close to our home that offer boat, jet ski, and paddle board units. They also offer sunset cruises and deep sea fishing. Don't miss the sunset at one of the marina eateries, while sipping a beverage. If you don't feel like going out, stay at home and prepare in our completely equipped kitchen or grille out in the backyard! Appreciate your meal, the breeze, and fireflies out back on the screened in porch.

Just mins. up the road from OKI, you’ll find the historic town of Southport (#1 America's Happiest Oceanside Town in 2015) where you can grab a coffee, take a break on one of the many swings, walk the oak lined streets, and/or shop for unique gifts and antiques. Take a day trip on the ferry from Southport to Bald Head Island where you can rent a golf cart (no cars allowed on the island) and tour the island. Or, take the ferry to Fort Fisher and visit the Civil War Museum or the North Carolina Fort Fisher Aquarium. Pack a picnic lunch, feed the birds, and search for starfish among the mossy rocks.

Historic Wilmington, NC is a little over 30 miles away. With a colorful past, including tons of pirates, this is a fun city to tour, on foot or by carriage! Visit the USS North Carolina battleship while you are there! Lots of neat stores and eateries are on Chandlers Wharf!

It's a 45 min drive to North Myrtle beach if you want to do some outlet mall shopping or see a big crowd.

Whether you want an active vacation or a calming one, OKI is the place for you!

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect vacation property experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Summer is high season in the Southport area. To book the largest rental home within your budget, we recommend reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at Southport restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guides contain deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Planning, selecting, and booking the best Southport vacation home:

• Start by selecting your trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Renovated beach Getaway on a quiet street has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible online. If not, contact the property management company before reserving the property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If there's an individual Southport beach you love, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or costs might be applied to your contract.

Have a great stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the instructions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• At Check-in, note any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your quiet neighborhood. Employ the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out and about. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• At departure, take a walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful stay? Many rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
