Feel true Oceanview Bliss with a stay at this bright and cheerful condo located in the oceanfront Southern Shores Villas complex, located in the heart of Oak Island's East Beach. Drink in charming vistas of the sea from your living room, private covered porch and master bedroom.

Fun tropical details are scattered throughout the open concept living space. Gather in front of the TV to stream a favorite movie as you relax on the couch or an upsized armchair. The sturdy dining table seats six and provides plenty of space for meals or a family boardgame. The kitchen features everything you need to prepare during your stay. Lay out the ultimate sandwich buffet on the breakfast bar or prepare the catch of the day on the broad counters. A laundry closet opposite the kitchen is supplied with a full-sized washer and dryer for your convenience.

The master bedroom is furnished with a king bed and features direct covered porch access as well as a private en suite bathroom. Listen to the waves as you drift off each evening and open the sliding doors to greet each day with a breath of fresh ocean air. Both bathrooms in the unit are equipped with a standard tub/shower combo. The second bathroom offers hall access as well as direct access to the second bedroom, which also has a king bed. The final bedroom provides a double bed, and all sleeping spaces have ceiling fans for your personal comfort.

The covered balcony looks out over the pool area to the sea and the countless horizon beyond. While the two sections of the porch are connected, a partial wall affords some privacy between the portion off the living room and the portion off the master bedroom. Each of these areas is furnished with a pair of captain's chairs and a bistro table. Appreciate your morning coffee as you watch seabirds swoop and soar, or gaze at the sun as it dips below the horizon and paints the sea and sky with a rainbow of color as you sip on a invigorating drink.

When you're ready to hit the sand, beach access is fast and painless due to dedicated complex access points. Settle in at the covered gazebo and sway on one of the porch swings for a moment before you crest the dune and lay out your blanket. If you need a break from the surf, cool off in the oceanfront pool instead. Additional community amenities include a grilling and picnic area as well as an outdoor shower for rinsing off before heading inside.

Located in simple walking distance from a number of local eateries, beach stores, ice cream stores, nightlife and even an arcade, you can walk along the main drag in the evening to appreciate nostalgic activities as a family. Or embark on any number of coastal adventures, from exploring close by historic Southport to venturing via ferry to the Fort Fisher Aquarium or other Wilmington-area attractions. However you like to spend your beach vacation, Oceanview Bliss is ready to serve as your happy place while your family builds memories that will last a lifetime.

Strategies for getting the perfect Oak Island vacation rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Summer is the most expensive season in Oak Island. To find the best rental for your budget, we strongly suggest booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• The earlier you can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are reserved very early. Booking your rental six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies typically offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines contain offers and deals for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Make a plan and choose the best Southport rental:

• Start by choosing a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Oceanview Bliss: Walk to Everything from this Cheerful Beachfront Condo has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport vacation rental search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is usually available on booking pages. Otherwise, email the host before reserving the rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's a particular Southport destination you love, browse homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• Some rentals allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the owner about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• Upon arrival, document any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• On check-out day, complete a final walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent ratings to compel more reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
