This unique beach bungalow on Oak Island offers a gorgeous view of the Atlantic Ocean from every room! You will notice there are no neighbors or structures between you and your private ocean backyard for 180 degrees! From the wrap-around porch, you can see close by Bald Head Island, plus the Oak Island Lighthouse and Oak Island Pier - all at one beautiful glance.

This relaxing location is ideal for a vacation. Cyclists can appreciate an invigorating ride on the beach. Runners will like the ideal compacted sand. You can swim, ride waves, or simply sun-bathe. Do yoga on the porch, inhaling the intoxicating ocean breeze. Fix your favorite foods in the kitchen with its spectacular view!

The home provides access to multiple diverting attractions. Walk to Caswell Beach, a natural turtle sanctuary with more than 55 turtle nests. Appreciate the island's many friendly eateries. Bicycle to a lighthouse you can climb. Drive to the beautiful oceanside village of Southport. Take the ferry to Bald Head Island or Fort Fisher and the Aquarium. Shop in Wilmington or close by Myrtle Beach.

For the most striking location, there’s a restaurant right at our pier called Koco Kabana. It’s Oceanview and very good food. For Thai food we recommend Thai By The Sea-take out only. It’s just a few blocks away from the home. For great Italian food we recommend numerous eateries but probably Joseph’s the most. It’s on the intercoastal right by the boat docks. For a great clean grass fed steak we recommend Traquil Harbor-they delivered our dinner to our door yesterday and it was definitely delicious. It’s across the street from the Food Lion and not fancy but great vegetables and food. Duffers is at the Oak Island Country Club, is delicious and only 2 mins. away. We would also highly recommend you going to Southport for numerous impressive eateries there that are very “hole in the wall” but completely classic. That would include Fishy Fishy, Provisions, Mr. P. and Oliver’s. This is for the local seafood. And, plan on walking around the older parts of Southport because it is really appealing. Many older homes have survived all the hurricanes for some spectacular reason. And it’s charming.

Finest of all, savor some healing relaxation in this glorious natural setting. Make this special ocean-side bungalow your vacation choice today! This home if for peaceful beach lovers.

Strategies to get the best Southport rental experience:

When to go & When to reserve a Southport rental home:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Book your Southport vacation home in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local Southport visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have offers and deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Finding the best rental home in Oak Island:

• Choose vacation dates and budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your family needs. Ocean Front Beach Cottage-180 degrees ocean view from every room and L-deck has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport vacation rental search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available on booking pages. If not, reach out to the property owner before reserving your home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine what bed configuration is right for your trip.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or charges might be applied to your invoice.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking

Considerations for your stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would back home.
• During arrival, record any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. 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 you have a great time? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
