Previous guests of A Summer Fling will do a double take when they walk into this elegant home after renovations finished in early 2024. Upon entering the home, guests' eyes will go upward to the pretty wooden beams lining the vaulted ceiling before meandering to take in the other rustic, wooden accents throughout.

With granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and enough kitchen supplies to provide for your entire family, this striking kitchen will make you want to stay in and prepare every meal. The island includes barstools that seat four comfortably. 

The living space provides enough seating for the entire family and overlooks the sand and sun. Sit back and relax as you watch your favorite show on the flat-screen TV. Walk out the ocean side door to experience the salty breeze off the Atlantic Ocean from under the covered porch.

There are three bedrooms, two of which have a sliding glass door leading to the oceanfront porch. The bunk room sleeps two comfortably. Please note the dimensions of the top bunk are modest and are constructed for your tiny little adventurer!

The game room is ideal for an evening of family fun. When the kids go to bed it can turn into a bar and lounge for leisurely card games. Painted a forest green, the ambiance is very alluring to creatives alike! With four comfortable chairs, this round table seats four.

Convenient to local eateries, stores, parks and attractions. Whether your idea of a vacation is taking long naps in the island breeze, exploring local landmarks or teeing up for 18 holes at one of the area's playable but challenging golf courses, you will find your island home at A Summer Fling!

Our top Oak Island vacation rental booking tips:

Finding the best rental value:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To find the best rental home for your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular attractions.
• Property management companies sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guide magazines have coupons for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• First, have your group agree to the best dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. A Summer Fling: Gorgeous Vintage Coastal Home with Game Room has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rentals search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible on booking pages. If not, email or call the property owner before reserving the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine which bed configuration is suitable for your group.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a rental that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific Southport destination you simply love, keep an eye out for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

Additional considerations:

• Add the property manager's contact info to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents a lot of problems.
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let burglars spoil your holiday.
• Document any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if damages are assessed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers bothering your peace and quiet. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed everything at departure. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a terrific vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
