About this Property

  • Sleeps 10
  • 3 Bedrooms
  • 2 Bathrooms
  • Private vacation home

"Happiness Comes in Waves" is the ideal spot for an island hideaway! It's just steps from the beach, but is a secluded setting that backs up to the Davis Canal tidal marsh with a private pier that you can drop a line in the water or a crab trap (one of only two private piers in the area). The property is fourth row back and a fast 2-min. walk to the beach with simple access. Unwind on the front deck and fall asleep listening to sounds of the ocean!

This property features 3 bedrooms and 1 1/2 baths plus an additional outdoor shower with hot/cold water for use during the summer months. The kitchen was newly completely modernized, with ample cabinet storage space and is well equipped (pots, pans, blender, electric griddle, toaster oven, coffee maker (standard and Keurig), hand mixer, crockpot, etc) to meet all of your cooking needs.

The inside dining table has four chairs, plus we have two folding chairs, plastic deck chairs, and out on the deck is a wrought-iron table with four chairs.

Bedroom 1 has a king bed. Bedroom 2 includes two sets of bunk beds (the top bunk beds are only for kids). Bedroom 3 has a queen bed. There is also a queen-sized pullout couch sleeper in the living room.

Linens are NOT supplied but the property does include pillows, blankets, and comforters/quilts for all beds and the couch sleeper. You can bring your own sheets and towels, or rent them from Sharon's Linens on Oak Island (if you do this, we've heard that Sharon's can be sold out in peak season, so contact them early).

All bedrooms and the living room have ceiling fans. The ceiling fan/light in the living room is operated by remote control.

The property includes a Roku TV and high-speed Internet access and WiFi.

This is a pet friendly property with a max. of 2 family pets allowed (dogs only, owner is allergic to cats). Dogs must weigh under 100 lbs and there is a non-returnable pet fee of $120. Owners must clean up the yard after their pets -- there will be an additional fee for each pile of poop that is left in the yard after your stay!

The deck has a gas grille, plus the table and chairs to savor your morning coffee or evening drink. There's a wagon to haul your gear over to the beach. And there's a hose available to wash all those things down when you come back from the beach.

An ice shack is two blocks away to fill your cooler. It's next door to a convenience store for anything you might've forgotten.

A washer/dryer is in the half-bath.

Our top Oak Island rental home booking tips and tricks:

Sticking to a rental home budget:

  • June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To get the most suitable rental within your budget, we recommend booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation 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 near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
  • Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
  • Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
  • Booking websites often offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
  • Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitor guides have money saving offers on nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to choose the best vacation home:

  • Select vacation week and maximum budget.
  • Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Quiet beach house steps away from the ocean with private pier to view the marsh. has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rental home search.
  • Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible online. If they are not listed, contact the host before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
  • Looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
  • Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking
  • If your group is vacationing with pets, you must book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

Have a great stay:

  • Be sure you get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
  • Upon check-in, note any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all coorespondence.
  • Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, stereo or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents lots of difficulties.
  • Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers bothering your life at home. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would've not otherwise known!
  • Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
  • Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let crooks spoil your holiday.
  • Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
  • Record a video to document the condition of the property.
  • Did your family have a excellent stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect 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 comments.
