Kick off your shoes, relax, breathe in the ocean air, you're on beach time now. You have arrived at your Ideal Little Beach Cottage located in the woodland area of Oak Island, where the sound of the ocean and birds compete for your attention.

You're welcomed at the front door with a pair of North Carolina rocking chairs and the sound of the wind chimes blowing in the breeze. Step inside to your new home away from home. You will find an open floor plan and plenty of light. The simple but comfortable living room couches invite you to sit down for a while. Unwind under the cooling breezes of the palm-bladed ceiling fan. Pick up and read one of the books on the North Carolina coast.

In the spotless kitchen, you will find refreshed lighting and a ceramic tiled floor. The cupboards are packed full of dishes, cookware, modest appliances, and glasses. As we adore to prepare you will find everything is supplied for you to prepare delicious vacation meals. Alternatively, a list of my favorite eateries and menus are included if you decide to not prepare during your stay.

Open the sliding glass doors and walk into the pleasing screened porch. It's the ideal place to sip your morning coffee, appreciate an evening drink or read a book curled up on a chair on a rainy day, listening to the storm outside. The porch offers vistas of the sand garden and planted flowering beds with handmade ceramic sculptures. On the concrete patio, you will find a dining table to savor meals al fresco. An outdoor shower fed from the garden hose is available for a fast rinse of the ocean water.

Back inside walk down the hallway where the laundry room sits behind folding doors. The master bedroom is light and airy with modern design furnishings. The queen-size bed is comfortable and ensures a restful nighttime's sleep, dreaming of waves and sand. Off the bedroom is the master bath; it is well lit, clean, and fresh. Two simple twin beds are in the second bedroom with wall-mounted reading lights overhead. A modern maple dresser and mirror complete the room. The main bathroom is simple and clean with seashells as the motif. All linens are supplied for your stay including two sets of bath towels for each guest. Cleaning supplies are also included for your use.

Now it's time to head to the real star of the island, the beach. It's a short distance by bicycle or car with over 60 public beach access points. No matter the time of the year your time spent at the beach will be memorable.

Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect Southport rental home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• June, July, and August are high season in Oak Island. To get the best value, consider changing your trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer great temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• 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 vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, travel guides have money saving offers on local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Select dates and maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. Perfect Little Beach Cottage for your stay on Oak Island has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is often available on booking pages. Otherwise, email the property management company before you book the vacation home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or charges could be applied to your agreement.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Store the owner's information in your smartphone.
• To make sure damages are not linked to your visit, note any problem areas during check in. Get in touch with the property manager immediately to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors bothering your peace. Employ the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental while you are out and about. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• At departure, take a walk-through to make sure you have not forget any personal items. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a great stay? Many rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
