It’s time for you to appreciate a vacation on the island and there’s no better way to relax than with Sandy Palms! Conveniently located in the center of fun close to dining options and the Ocean Crest Fishing Pier, this pet friendly beach home is only a five-min. walk to the oceanfront via public beach access and a three-min. walk to the breathtaking walkway at 19th Street, which provides beautiful vistas and magnificent opportunities to watch shore birds feed in the Davis Canal. Welcoming one dog up to 30lbs, this classic vacation rental with a fenced backyard is a great homebase for families to discover the island from.

An enclosed staircase under the home leads up to the first level landing, where you’ll enter the comfortable living room. A enormous intelligent TV is included so you can stream your favorite shows with the ones you appreciate. Just off the living room is the kitchen, completely equipped with everything you need to prepare family meals. A modest dining table seats four to five comfortably.

Further down the hall, you’ll find a full bathroom with a standard tub/shower combo and the first of two bedrooms on this floor, furnished with a double bed and a twin bed. The master bedroom, located off the living room, features a king bed and an ensuite bath providing both a step-in shower for washing the sand away and a garden tub for soaking adventure weary muscles. On the other side of the living room, the covered front porch with outdoor furnishings provides a ideal perch to catch the sunset and savor glimpses of a marsh view and area wildlife from this shade respite.

The final sleeping space is located on the upper level, which is reached via the external enclosed entry staircase. Here, you’ll find a second seating area with a loveseat and recliner along with the second flat screen TV. Please note that no cable or streaming services are supplied directly on this TV - guests must bring their personal streaming devices and appropriate hookups in order to utilize this TV. To the other side of this bigger open space are two double-over-double bunk beds. A half bathroom is also located on this level, and a final interior staircase leads to the highest deck on the property, where you can soak in the sunshine as you sip your favorite morning coffee. Appreciate expansive vistas that stretch to the Atlantic Ocean glimmering on the horizon from this vantage point or watch the kids as they play in the fenced backyard below.

Under the home, you’ll find thoughtful features to help you make the most of your time here, including two outdoor dining sets, a shaded porch swing and even an enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water that makes rinsing the sand off of babies and fur-babies alike a breeze. Gather around the firepit in the evening with beverages and s’mores and relax to the sound of the waves while the kids play safely in the fenced yard. After all, the best memories are made on days that begin and end with Sandy Palms!

Please note that guests are not allowed to charge golf carts at this property.

Our top Oak Island vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

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

Reserve your Southport rental in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
Property managers typically offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitor guides which often include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Finding the perfect vacation rental in Oak Island:

Start by selecting potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Sandy Palms: Cozy Cottage Close to Beach Access has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is commonly accessible on booking websites. If not, email the property owner before you reserve your home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to work out which bed configuration is best for your trip.
If there's a specific Southport beach you are crazy about, browse properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the property manager about pets before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

Take a copy of the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
During check-in, document any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors bothering your peaceful home. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would have not otherwise known about!
Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would back home.
Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Inspect the property one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent reviews to inspire future reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
