We look forward to welcoming you and your family (including dogs) to Bird’s Eye View, our 4 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home, on pilings with handsome marsh and ocean vistas from 3 decks and painless beach access. This 3rd-row vacation home is located on the peaceful West side of Oak Island with charming vistas of both the ocean and salt marsh. The home includes a roomy two-story family room filled with natural light and plenty of seating for everybody to relax after a day in the sun.

This home is managed by the owners, rather than a property management company, so you'll receive personal attention to answer your questions or address any issues. Check out the reviews, all of which are 5-star! We're also happy to provide tips on eateries and things to do in the area.

You’ll savor cooking in the well-equipped enormous kitchen complete with dining area or on a propane grille looking out over the marsh on the back deck. No matter where you are inside or out you will have the ability to slip away and appreciate a impressive and calming lookout.

The bedrooms are carefully spread around the home. The primary bedroom (Queen) is tucked away on the main floor, offering privacy and includes a new (2023) ensuite bathroom and sizable closet and window seat. A bunkroom is located on the same floor with a powder room close by. The upstairs guest rooms share a new bathroom, with a opulent soaking tub (and shower) located off the hallway. The King bedroom has a private Oceanview sitting room and flat screen tv. The Queen guestroom has access to the private rooftop deck overlooking the marsh with comfortable Adirondack chairs for your morning coffee or to watch pretty sunsets. Hidden behind a barn door on the main floor is a comfortable den and desk/monitor setup overlooking the back deck and marsh, ideal for both peaceful remote work or as a kids getaway, reading or just calming.

After you’ve appreciated the sun and surf at the beach, rinse off in the outdoor shower with hot and cold water and then relax on the front deck with vistas of the ocean or back deck with vistas of the marsh. Parking under the home and on huge driveway is available for full family and guest use. No need to deal with OKI's parking restrictions.

We've invested in High-Speed internet for our guests. The four TVs are "intelligent" or include firesticks so you can log in to your favorite streaming programs with YOUR log-in credentials for Netflix, Disney +, Prime Video, Hulu, Paramount+, DIRECTV Stream, YouTube TV, Spectrum Streaming, etc., etc. or even your Gaming systems.

But most of the time you'll be outdoors! Supplied for family fun are outside / beach accessories, such as beach chairs, an umbrella, corn hole boards, firepit, etc. A ping pong table is setup in the garage for team play! There are also a couple of bicycles for your use.

Strategies to get the perfect vacation home experience:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Reserving your vacation home up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Southport area. To find the best value, consider changing your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies frequently offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many management companies supply Southport area visitors guide magazines which include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by choosing your trip dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Ocean & Wetland views, 3 decks, steps from the beach, 4 BRs, sleeps 10. has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is commonly available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, contact the property management company before booking the vacation home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly property. Request details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Looking for special amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before booking

Some things to know before you go:

• We recommend storing the owner's information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let crooks ruin your trip.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your family's stay, make a record of any problem areas during arrival. Speak to the property manager right away to record any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to confirm you have not forget anything. Make sure to 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.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on great feedback to compel more bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
