What a view! Take in the ocean vistas from the sunroom, living room, kitchen, and primary bedrooms. Appreciate the ocean breeze on the roomy deck, rocking in a rocking chair or soaking up the sun on a lounger. There are plenty of toys to make your beach visit simple breezy including body boards, beach cart, cooler, beach towels and chairs. Inside there’s an air hockey table, 75” flatscreen TV with a guest Netflix account, Wi-Fi, and plenty of seating to spread out. Cozy seating for dining or working from the banquet dining table in the sunroom comes with an awe-inspiring view of the beach. Lil Salty is a appealing and comfortable bungalow for most guests and although our bathrooms are on the smaller side, both showers have a detachable shower head wand to make it more comfortable.
Nearby, for your convenience is a King’s Beachware, Publix grocery store, and convenient eateries including, Pepperoni Grille for pizza, pasta, and salads. Checkout Kai Joe’s taco stand, or for a cold sweet treat there’s Dole Whips at the park!
Oak Island has a lot of amenities including putt-putt, a skateboard park, kids playground, movies and music in the park (seasonal), and so many delicious eateries. My favorite is Shagger Jacks - their fried chicken sandwich and skinny fries with comeback sauce is a winner!
The beaches at Oak Island are family friendly and welcoming to all! We only ask that you stay off the dunes and do not disturb the sea turtles in nesting season.
Lil Salty loves all people and animals, but asks that you keep your four legged friends at home.

Oak Island vacation rental booking tips:

When to reserve a Southport rental home & When to go:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Reserve your Southport rental in the Spring or Fall to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. 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, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• The sooner your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation home up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area travel guides which often include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning and picking the perfectvacation home:

• Select a group lead, choose your trip dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Ocean front cottage has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property management company before booking your rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to work out which bed configuration is right for your vacation.
• Are you looking for specific amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the property manager about your furry family members before booking.

Tips to have a wonderful stay:

• Store the host's information in your smartphone.
• Record any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if damages are assessed.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers bothering your life at home. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let crooks ruin your trip.
• Double-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on great reviews to compel future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
