Come appreciate the coastal lifestyle at its best on OKI! This newly refreshed 3 bedroom, 2 bath home is located on a peaceful street of Oak Island.

Just two streets over from direct beach access via Middleton Avenue and only steps away from handsome Yacht Drive, ideal for those peaceful morning strolls out to Veterans Park which is a great place to go fishing or savor your morning coffee on one of the swings and watch the fishing boats go by.

After a day of fun at the beach come home and relax on the broad screened-in front porch. Waste away a lazy afternoon in the hammock with your favorite book or just sit a spell on the porch swing and take in the ocean breeze. The smell of Jasmine in the air is enchanting during the spring months and gazing at the starlit ocean sky from the front porch is a favorite way to spend those lazy summer evenings. At nighttime, when all is peaceful on the island, it’s a special treat to rock on the front porch and listen to the relaxing ocean waves in the distance.

This bungalow is charmingly adorned in a modern coastal style that will have you moving at a slower pace and living on island time. Appreciate the open floor plan of the living room, dining area, and kitchen, ideal for spending quality time with family and friends.

The Beach Pantry is located just a little over half a mile from the home and there are numerous grocery stores on the island where you can find everything you need for your stay.

There are three bedrooms, each with their own island theme. In the master bedroom relax with the sea turtles. There is a queen-size bed, tall dresser, and closet to store your belongings. The master bathroom has a shower to allow for added privacy. Lighthouses abound in the second bedroom which is the biggest of the three and has a king-size bed, armoire, nightstand, and desk.

Tricks and tips to get the best rental experience:

Finding the best value:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To find the best rental home within your budget, we highly recommend booking in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite Southport restaurants and activities.
• Some hosts and property managers offer promotional rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Booking websites usually offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitor guide magazines that include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by selecting your trip dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Relaxing coastal cottage- Convenient to the Beach, Screened in Porch has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the property manager before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to work out what bed configuration is suitable for your group.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental

Advice for your stay:

• Add the host's information to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would at home.
• During check-in, document any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! 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 on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from 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! Hosts rely on good reviews to stimulate new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
