Located between the charming beaches of Oak Island and the spectacular Davis Canal, Family Tides is mins. from the beach and a fast bicycle ride away from eateries, shopping and groceries galore. This bright and cheerful bungalow, only 3 rows back from the ocean, features marsh vistas and a 2.5-story floor plan with a additional kids/game room on the lower level. With 4 BR, this is an ideal beach home for 2 families – comfortable for 3 – to share and appreciate together for a calming oceanside holiday.

The home has been freshly refreshed throughout with new floor, washer/dryer, couches, bed sets and comforters. The inviting features continue outside, where you’ll find an broad front deck and screened back porch with plenty of room and a view that includes glimpses of the water and canal.

Each bedroom also has a private deck with additional furnishings. Dine al Fresco with a drink in-hand on the screened porch or in the enormous backyard while lazily relaxing in the hammock or tree swing. A short walk of fewer than 4 mins. takes you from the driveway to the sand where you’ll lay your blanket.

As an added additional, the breathtaking walkway over the Davis Canal at 29th St is even closer than the beach and provides a amazing opportunity to view the island’s wildlife, including foxes, herons, and other shorebirds, deer, and more. This walkway also provides simple access to the Oak Island Recreation Center. Fishing is available from one of two fishing piers on the island as well as from the Davis Canal, 40th Street inlet.
Appreciate being out on the water? With over 100 ft of driveway to park your boat trailer and drive to one of the many boat launches all over the island, you can quickly be out on the ICW (inter coastal waterway) which gives you water access to the Atlantic Ocean, Lockwood Folly River, Southport or Baldhead Island. For a unique beach experience take a drive out to The Point.
Need more? There are two public golf courses on Oak Island and well over 15 golf courses with scenic vistas and natural settings within a 20 min. to 1-hour drive.
Just bring your beach towels! Beach chairs, umbrellas, toys for the kiddos, a sizable (wheeled) cooler, bicycles and a wagon are supplied at no additional cost. An enclosed outside shower with hot and cold water, as well as a changing area, make cleaning up after returning from the beach a breeze.



Groups welcome. Absolutely No Parties.

Finding the best Oak Island vacation home experience:

Sticking to your rental budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To book the most suitable rental within budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at Southport restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites typically offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Often, property management companies supply Southport area visitor guides which often include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Selecting the best rental home in Oak Island:

• Begin by choosing a vacation week and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. 3Min Walk to Beach w\/Marsh View: Bright Spacious Family Home has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the host before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• If there's a particular Southport attraction you love, look for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must book a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some property owners charge additional pet fees.

Know before you go:

• Get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home. We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make certain damages aren't linked to your visit, make a record of any problem areas upon your arrival. Call the property manager right away to report your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a terrific resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your vacation home while you're away. Protect your property!
• Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed everything at check-out. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a fantastic time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
