This unique beach bungalow on Oak Island offers a beautiful view of the Atlantic Ocean from every room! You will notice there are no neighbors or structures between you and your private ocean backyard for 180 degrees! From the wrap-around porch, you can see close by Bald Head Island, plus the Oak Island Lighthouse and Oak Island Pier - all at one beautiful glance.

This peaceful location is ideal for a vacation. Cyclists can savor an invigorating ride on the beach. Runners will like the ideal compacted sand. You can swim, ride waves, or simply sun-bathe. Do yoga on the porch, inhaling the intoxicating ocean breeze. Fix your favorite foods in the kitchen with its spectacular view!

The home provides access to multiple diverting attractions. Walk to Caswell Beach, a natural turtle sanctuary with more than 55 turtle nests. Savor the island's many friendly eateries. Bicycle to a lighthouse you can climb. Drive to the gorgeous oceanside village of Southport. Take the ferry to Bald Head Island or Fort Fisher and the Aquarium. Shop in Wilmington or close by Myrtle Beach.

For the most spectacular location, there’s a restaurant right at our pier called Koco Kabana. It’s Oceanview and very good food. For Thai food we recommend Thai By The Sea-take out only. It’s just a few blocks away from the home. For great Italian food we recommend numerous eateries but probably Joseph’s the most. It’s on the intercoastal right by the boat docks. For a great clean grass fed steak we recommend Traquil Harbor-they delivered our dinner to our door yesterday and it was definitely delicious. It’s across the street from the Food Lion and not fancy but great vegetables and food. Duffers is at the Oak Island Country Club, is delicious and only 2 mins. away. We would also highly recommend you going to Southport for numerous striking eateries there that are very “hole in the wall” but completely classic. That would include Fishy Fishy, Provisions, Mr. P. and Oliver’s. This is for the local seafood. And, plan on walking around the older parts of Southport because it is really striking. Many older homes have survived all the hurricanes for some extraordinary reason. And it’s charming.

Finest of all, appreciate some healing relaxation in this glorious natural setting. Make this special ocean-side bungalow your vacation choice today! This home if for relaxing beach lovers.

Our top Oak Island rental home tips and tricks:

Getting the most from your vacation rental budget:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Oak Island. Booking your vacation home in the Spring or Fall is a good way to save on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local Southport visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, travel guides contain discounts for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Filter your search:

• Start by having your family commit to vacation dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Ocean Front Beach Cottage-180 degrees ocean view from every room and L-deck has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is commonly available on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the property owner before you reserve your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to establish what is right for your vacation group.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or costs might be applied to your agreement.
• Visiting for a specific event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Advice for your stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Note any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Be respectful. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• At departure, take a final walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent ratings to stimulate more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review find their best vacation home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
