Fire up the gas grille while the kids play in the fenced-in backyard or test your culinary skills in the kitchen, which is outfitted stainless-steel appliances. There is also plenty of equipment to use during your trips to the beach or while appreciating the backyard, including six beach chairs and an umbrella, adult and kids's beach games, a bag game, and a backyard hockey game.

Retire for the nighttime in one of two king sized beds and tuck the kids into the bunk bed (twin over a double). There is another twin bed in the bunk room, and each bedroom features its own TV for personal entertainment.

Getting the best vacation home experience:

Finding the best value:

• June, July, and August are high season in Oak Island. Booking a rental in Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies frequently offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local Southport visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guides have money saving offers on local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Start by selecting your the best vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration you need. Beach Happy: Kid-friendly Home Less Than a Mile From the Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is often available on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before reserving your home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some rentals allow pets, but some don't. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the owner about allowable breeds and types before booking.

More tips for your visit:

• Store the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Upon check-in, document any issues with the property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers bothering your peaceful home life. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a terrific time? Many rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect 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 comments.
