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 refreshed 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 enormous 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 T.V., 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.

Savor your favorite cup of coffee on the covered deck while watching the sunrise. Share memorable moments when spending quality time with appreciated ones in this pretty 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.

Our top Rental home booking tips and tricks:

Getting the best rental value:

• The earlier you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are booked very early. Reserving your rental six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Summer months are high season in the Southport area. To get the best rental for your budget, we suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular Southport attractions. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Some property managers offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitors guides which include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

• Choose a designated group leader, select your vacation week, and choose a max budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. The Shady Lady: Spacious Ocean View Home with Open Floorplan has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property manager before you book the property.

• Visiting for a specific event? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.

During your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would back home.

• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors bothering your home life. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually 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 fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal items. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent feedback to inspire more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your review find their best vacation home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
