This eight-bedroom oceanfront home is the ideal hideaway for your family and up to one dog! Located between the Eastern Channel of the Intracoastal Waterway and the beach, the vistas will have you flitting from room to room to catch a glimpse from each window.

Walking in, you'll first notice the calming blue wall color contrasts generously with bamboo floors. Wander down the hall to find five total bedrooms on this floor. To the right, you'll come across two rooms with a separate bathroom between them: there is a twin-over-king bunk bed with a trundle in one and a king bed in the other.

A bedroom containing two twin-over-twin bunk beds, one with a trundle, is the only bedroom without balcony access. This bedroom shares a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with another bedroom that features a queen bed. Another bedroom with a king-sized bed features an en-suite bathroom on this floor.

Open the outside door and find a partially covered deck with a private pool. You can watch the ocean waves while swimming laps! This home also has an outdoor shower to rinse your sandy feet before walking onto the deck and a picnic table is available for family meals adored with a sea breeze.

Up the stairs, you'll find the open-concept living space, a great place to appreciate time together as a family. Kings Kraken's well-equipped kitchen provides two fridges in case you came equally well-prepared with ingredients! It also has handsome lighting fixtures and a handsome tile backsplash. The huge dining table seats ten, with four additional chairs at the kitchen island.

The living room has plenty of comfortable seating where guests can mingle and play board games, with a big T.V. to stream your favorite shows. Walk out the door to the oceanfront balcony, where you can sit in the rockers and watch the waves lap against the shore or eat at the patio table with the sound of ocean waves in the background.

The primary bedroom adjacent to the living room has a king bed, windows up to the ceiling and a sliding farm door to the en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet. Down the hall, the other two bedrooms also have king beds, with balcony access overlooking the Eastern Channel. There is a separate bathroom between these rooms.

A very kid-friendly property, Kings Kraken's amenities include a high chair, infant gate and Pack 'n' Play travel crib. There are also kid-proof alarms near the pool to provide added safety for your little ones. The rental comes with an elevator and step-complimentary access bathrooms for those with limited mobility. There is keyless entry and wireless internet access, plus a TV in every bedroom. There is also a washer and dryer, so you're not bringing those sandy towels home!

This property is located under half a mile from the Point, a trendy spectacular spot on the island, which is only an eight-min. walk. A mile away is Lonerider Brewpub, a local favorite and a great spot to sip a craft beer while watching boats drift by on the waterway.

Strategies to get the very best Southport rental home experience:

Finding the best rental value:

• June, July, and August are high season in Oak Island. To get the best value, change your trip dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Winter 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 vacation rental company or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Many rental management companies supply Southport area visitors guides which often include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select a group lead, choose your trip dates, and select a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration you need. Kings Kraken: Beautiful Home with Direct Beach Access and Views of Waterway has 8 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property owner before you reserve your rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Visiting for a specific event or attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• If your family is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Get details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

Advice for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your phone.
• To make sure damages are not attributed to your visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas during check in. Make contact with the rental manager right away to document your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many concerns.
• Be respectful. Often, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let thieves spoil your family vacation.
• Re-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, remember to take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a terrific stay? Many rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
