Welcome to Hipnautic Waves, a charmingly remodeled end unit condo on the 2nd row from the beach just steps to the sand with calming ocean vistas, breeze and sounds. Sit on the sizable covered balcony or inside and listen to the Hipnautic Waves crashing just across the street!

This bright & airy 3 Bed/2 Full Bath condo is in the only condo building located on the quieter less congested west end of Oak Island, and with just 15 condo units offers a more relaxing experience. As an end unit condo, it has added privacy along with windows on 3 of 4 sides, plus 2 sets of enormous sliding glass doors for tons of natural light & ocean vistas! Since OKI is a South-facing beach, we get marvelous photo worthy sunsets & sunrises, both over the water.

This entirely refreshed condo includes a new kitchen with all stainless steel appliances, Quartz countertops throughout, recessed lighting, ceiling fans & vinyl plank floor. There is complimentary on-site parking (3 Spaces) and community picnic bench. When you return from your walk across the street from the beach, wash off that salt & sand at the Outdoor Shower. Conveniently store all your beach gear in the storage closet just outside the front door.

Feel a comfortable stay in the roomy open kitchen, dining & living area. The kitchen is completely outfitted to prepare all your delicious meals including Drip Coffee Maker (single serve & pot), Hot Water Kettle, Blender, Bagel-Sized Toaster, Electric Griddle & Crock Pot. The huge countertop with island is great for additional prep & serving space. The window in the kitchen overlooks the Intracoastal Waterway which is within walking distance! The living area, with plenty of comfortable seating, has a huge screen TV with extended cable and HBO, plus HDMI ports for Roku/Fire TV etc. The sizable coffee table is ideal for playing games & assembling puzzles.

This superb location is convenient for the beach, walking, fishing, boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, cycling, running, birdwatching or simply relaxing. Walking distance to 2 beach access points & public fishing dock; under 2 miles away is The Point with powder soft sand, wildlife viewing & photo worthy vistas. Oak Island's groceries, shopping, 2 piers, splash pad, skateboard park, craft fairs, eateries, bars, live music & outdoor concerts with Food Trucks are under 5 miles away. We recommend Lonerider (1.4 mi) with food, drinks, game nights, cornhole, huge outdoor space; and Island Way Restaurant (2.4 mi) on the pier with great ocean vistas. There is a public boat ramp & water access point at 57th Place (1.4 mi). Visit Historic Southport with eateries and shopping.

You will probably have spent a lot of your time at the condo sitting on the deck observing the tides come & go, feeling those restorative sea breezes & listening to those HipNautic Waves. Perhaps you were contemplating just how soon you can return.

How to find the best vacation home experience:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

• The sooner you can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early. Booking your vacation rental six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Summertime is high season in the Southport area. To get the best value, try shifting your family's Southport vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer excellent temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Some hosts offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Many management companies supply Southport area visitors guide magazines that include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning and picking the best Southport rental home:

• To start, have your group agree to the best dates and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group requires. 2nd Row • Ocean Views • Renovated Interior • Dog-Friendly • 2-min Walk To Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the property manager before booking the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or costs applied to your contract.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.

Tips for a great stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your phone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of difficulties.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would back home.
• To make sure no damages are attributed to your family's visit, make a record of any problem areas during arrival. Contact the host right away to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your peaceful home. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all of your things. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and scan for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a excellent time? Most rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, 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 it a point as part of your review.
