Three Seas – See why the sea is your happy place. This phenomenal bungalow is located in the relaxing wooded section of Oak Island and characteristic of the area’s Yaupon trees, these handsome, gnarled trunks greet you as you arrive. For painless unloading of your traveling essentials, pull into the cavernous 2 car garage. A great place to store any of the beach toys you brought along.

Imagine appreciating your morning coffee on the front porch in this peaceful neighborhood as you plan the day’s activities. The living area has tons of natural light & comfortable seating. With the flick of a switch, savor the ambiance of a fire any season of the year. Watch your favorite shows on the TV or bring home movies on DVD to relive old memories as you make new ones. Learn about the local area through the artwork & acclaimed NC artist William Mangum’s coffee table book.

The completely equipped open kitchen (including Toaster Oven, Mixer, & Blender) is simple to prepare & serve from. There is ample space for storing your groceries. The dining table seats 6 & the close by kitchen bar seats 2.

If you prefer al fresco dining, appreciate the picnic table in the back & add flavor to your meal using the gas grille. After dinner get comfortable in the 6 Adirondack chairs & watch for fireflies. You can even toast marshmallows using the fire ring.

There is sleeping for 6 in the 3 charming bedrooms & a pull-out couch in the living area for 2 more. 2 bedrooms (Queen-sized beds) share a hall bath with a tub/shower combination. The Primary bedroom (Queen) has an EnSuite bathroom with a walk in shower. Bring your bath bombs & soak away the anxiety of everyday life. No need to live out of suitcases as each bedroom has closets & dressers to unpack. Use the supplied full-sized Washer & Dryer to perhaps pack lighter & have room to pack souvenirs on your trip home.

The beach access is a short drive or walk down the street. There is one bicycle supplied 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 roomy additional room flooded with natural light for exercise or play.

Just as 3 bodies of water converge in our area, so will you, your family & friends at Three Seas Cottage. This is the place to make fun memories long remembered.

Tips and Tricks to get the best Southport vacation rental experience:

Get the most from your budget:

Summer months are high season in Oak Island. Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a good way to save on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved very early. Booking your vacation property up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
Some property management companies offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
Property managers usually offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides contain discounts for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Use filters to narrow your search:

Begin by choosing your trip dates and a max budget.
Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Wonderful Island Home In the Peaceful Wooded Section Only Mins to the Beach has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the property owner before booking your rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine what configuration is optimal for your vacation.
If there's a certain Southport destination you simply love, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
Some rentals allow pets, but some do not. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the owner about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Tips for a fantastic stay:

Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your phone.
To make sure that no damages are linked to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon check in. Make contact with the host right away to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents quite a few concerns.
Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers disrupting your life at home. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would have never otherwise known about!
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically 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 fishing?
Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let thieves spoil your vacation.
Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Go through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition.
Did your group have a wonderful vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
