Desirably located on the West End of Oak Island and just across the street from the ocean, The Shady Lady waits to welcome your family on their next beach vacation. With broad porches on the front and back of the property that include covered decks as well as open areas for sunbathing, relaxation begins before even stepping into the front door of this freshly remodeled home.

Once you pull yourself away from the view and move into the open concept living area with vaulted ceilings, you’ll notice the property lives up to its name. Bask in the comfortable seating beckons, inviting hours of conversation, or time spent in front of the huge wall-mounted flat screen TV cheering on your favorite teams. Clean lines, sandy neutrals and cool blues soothe the senses and draw the eye to the eat in kitchen and its gleaming quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances. The oval table comfortably seats six for family meals or game nighttime, with additional barstool seating for five at the kitchen counter.

This classic floorplan provides two bedrooms on each floor connected by a Jack and Jill style full bath. On the first floor, the oceanfront bedroom provides a comfortable king-sized bed, and a bunk room provides three twin beds in a non-traditional bunk bed format, with two lower berths and one upper berth.

Upstairs, you’ll find a second king bedroom facing the ocean, and a queen-sized bed in the second bedroom on that floor. Each of the four bedrooms provides its own TV, so no one has to miss their favorite show! The second level also features a modest lounge room equipped with a twin-daybed and twin trundle, and creates a flexible space for reading, peaceful conversation, or additional sleeping quarters.

Appreciate your favorite cup of coffee on the covered deck while watching the sunrise. Share memorable moments when spending quality time with adored ones in this delightful home. Listen to the waves crash as you breathe in the crisp island air. There's even a 50-amp outlet to charge your electric car or RV, though guests will need to provide their own charging cord. Whatever your reason for a hideaway, Shady Lady has it all!

Guests with allergies should note that although no family pets are allowed for guest stays, a modest dog may occasionally be present during owner reservations.

Tips to get the perfect vacation home experience:

Money saving strategies:

Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 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. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
Summer time is high season in Oak Island. Booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our favorite way to save money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
Often, property management companies supply Southport area visitor guides which often include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Make a plan and pick a perfect Southport rental home:

Start by having your group decide on trip dates and a spending budget.
Decide how many beds and the configuration you need. The Shady Lady: Spacious Ocean View Home with Open Floorplan has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, call the property manager before you book your rental. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what is right for your vacation family.
Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? 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! Pet fees or charges may be applied to your contract.
Are you looking for unique amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters.
Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Considerations for your stay:

Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your phone.
Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let thieves spoil your vacation.
During arrival, document any issues with the property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
On check-out day, complete a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Check garages, decks, and cabinets 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.
After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on good feedback to drive more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will will be grateful for your review find their best vacation rental. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
