The home has been freshly modernized with refreshed decor, 1 Serta Icomfort king bed, plush queen bed, and 2 plush XL twin beds; sheets are supplied. 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 pretty 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.

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 drink. If you don't feel like going out, stay at home and prepare in our entirely 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!

Tips for getting the best Southport rental home experience:

When to go & When to book:

• The sooner your group can book, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are reserved very early. Booking your vacation rental 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• To find the largest rental within your budget, we suggest reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at Southport restaurants, tours, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines have money saving offers on nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Narrow your Search:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your vacation dates, and select a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family needs. Renovated beach Getaway on a quiet street has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, contact the host before you reserve the rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, search for a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• Is your family looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Advice for a smooth stay:

• We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent lots of problems.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Record any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if a dispute arises.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all of your things. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property a final time and look for damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent feedback to drive more reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review find their best rental home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
