Gather your crew together for some well-deserved shore leave at Admiral’s Quarters! This classic oceanfront beach bungalow sits along the dune line of Oak Island’s west beach and offers you a nostalgic harbor from the chaos of everyday life.

The comfortable living room provides plenty of seating across three armchairs, two couches and a adore seat. Watch a favorite movie together on the wall-mounted flatscreen TV thanks to cable service and a Blu-ray player or watch the colors of the sunset reflect on the waves as it sinks below the countless horizon just out your window. The long wooden dining table seats eight for mealtimes, with an additional six barstools included at the adjacent breakfast counter. The enormous kitchen is completely equipped with everything you need to prepare during your stay including a glass top stove freshly installed in 2025.

Tucked away beside the kitchen is a master bedroom with a king bed, ocean vistas and an attached private bath with a standard tub/shower combo. Down the hall from the living room, the second full bathroom offers a step-in shower stall and shared hall access for the final two bedrooms. One bedroom offers a queen bed and a twin, while the other has a queen and a double.

Downstairs, the enclosed garage creates a welcome additional space for kids to run off energy should your stay include a rainy day. You’ll find the charcoal grille stored here until you’re ready for it, along with beach chairs for your use. There is also a laundry room with a full-sized washer and dryer. Outside, the enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water accepts you to rinse off the sand while appreciating the calming ocean breezes before heading upstairs.

The partially covered oceanfront porch is where you’re sure to spend many of your vacation hours. Whether you choose to settle in at the extended wooden picnic table with plenty of space for everybody to dine al fresca or the classic rocking chairs grouped for peaceful conversation, time seems to slow as you soak in the sun, lift your face to the breeze and slow your breathing to the rhythm of the waves. And when you can no longer resist the urge to dip your toes in the water, you’ll find beach access is painless and fast thanks to a dedicated sand path. (For those with mobility concerns, you're just homes away from public beach access with handicap mat for easier access.) Claim your stay at Admiral’s Quarters today!

How to book the best Southport vacation home experience:

Getting the best rental value:

• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To book the most suitable vacation home within budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local Southport visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guides have deals for local tours and attractions.

Choosing the best vacation home:

• Select dates and max budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Admiral's Quarters: Cozy Oceanfront Home with Covered Porch has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible online. If they are not listed, email the property manager before you book your rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before booking
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some don't. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Advice for a great stay:

• Get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. Put the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• During check-in, record any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be respectful. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental while you are out and about. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Re-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental a final time and scan for damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a wonderful time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
