The beach access is a short drive or walk down the street. There is one bicycle included for your use or you can rent bicycles or a golf cart. As you return from your fun in the sun, unload in the garage & wash away the salt & sand in the outdoor shower (hot/cold water) just out back.

One of the features of this bungalow is a convenient desk space with natural light & direct access to the back deck if you prefer to work outdoors. If you pack your yoga mat, there is a cavernous additional room flooded with natural light for exercise or play.

How to book the best Oak Island vacation rental experience:

How to get the best value:

• In the Southport area, The earlier you can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved very early. Reserving your rental 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Summer months are high season in the Southport area. To find the largest vacation home within budget, we strongly suggest booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular attractions.
• Some property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property management companies often offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guides have discounts for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Planning and picking a perfect Southport rental:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your trip dates, and select a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your family requires. Wonderful Island Home In the Peaceful Wooded Section Only Mins to the Beach has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the host before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must book a rental that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property managers charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a certain Southport attraction you are enamored with, browse properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

• We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of issues.
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Make a record of any damages to the property at check in, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are very helpful if damages are assessed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors bothering your quiet neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected everything. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent ratings to stimulate more reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
