See the Sea from the comfort of your porch during a stay at this classic beach bungalow just across the street from the Atlantic and loaded with family-friendly amenities! Greet the day as the sun warms your skin from the constructed-in bench seating on the ocean-facing front deck, or relax in the shade of the screened porch as you watch the waves instead.

Recently refreshed for the start of the 2025 season, gather in the living room and settle on the new couch, loveseat or armchair as you watch the game on the 70” Intelligent TV mounted over the electric fireplace. In addition to Roku-equipped TVs in each bedroom, there’s even one in the completely equipped kitchen, so the family chef can keep up with the score as they prepare the catch of the day. Dine together at the sturdy square table set for six, with three additional seats available at the adjacent breakfast bar. Or getaway to the rear screened porch instead, where an outdoor dining table for six accepts you to eat dinner while appreciating the island air.

The master bedroom is furnished with a king bed and features an en-suite bathroom. The roomy step-in shower with elegant teal and grey tile offers a spa-like feel and invites you to relax after a long day of adventure. A second full bathroom with a standard tub/shower combo is located between the remaining two bedrooms. The secondary bedroom is outfitted with a queen bed. The final bedroom, which features a twin-over-double bunk bed, also has plenty of entertainment for the kiddos thanks to a TV/VCR combo and PlayStation 2 and 3 gaming consoles! Kids of all ages are welcome here, with this home providing cabinet locks, outlet covers, toys, Port-a-Crib and two highchairs to make your stay (and the packing process!) anxiety-complimentary.

Additional 2025 updates include new rugs throughout the home, expanded closest doors, new bunkroom furnishings and bladeless ceiling fans with remotes in the master bedroom and bunkroom. Parking is at the rear of the home off of Dolphin Drive and is not allowed at the front of the home, but you’ll find plenty of space for your cars, with covered parking available as well. An enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water as well as an open showerhead under the home make rinsing sand off your little ones after a day on the beach a breeze. And when it is time to hit the beach, a walk of roughly 600 feet takes you from your doorstep to the spot where you’ll lay your towel via the public access point just a few homes down.

How to find the best Oak Island rental home experience:

Get the most from your spending budget:

• In the Southport area, The sooner you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are reserved early. Reserving your vacation home six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• To find the best value, try changing your family's Southport vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warm weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitors guide magazines which will include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Select vacation dates and max budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. See The Sea: Oceanview beach cottage in East Beach 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 counts is regularly accessible on booking pages. If not, contact the property owner before reserving the vacation property. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or charges may be applied to your agreement.
• Visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Tips for a wonderful stay:

• Store the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let burglars spoil your family vacation.
• During check-in, record any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an incredible resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out 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.
• Did your group have a great stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix 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 review.
