Where do we begin? The exceptional outdoor spaces and private pool with awe-inspiring vistas, the deep water dock that extends to the Montgomery Slough, or the well-appointed interior? With 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, The Crab Shack offers everything for an marvelous stay on Oak Island — all you need is your family and friends! You can even bring your boat (or rent one). Plus, this gorgeous West Beach home is only steps from the beach and has beach gear available, like chairs and a wagon.

You'll find the ideal blend of coastal-inspired outdoor and interior spaces to savor for entertaining or calming! The backyard getaway features a shining private pool, an broad sundeck, a covered area with a bar and grille, and simple access to the deep water dock. Upstairs, you'll discover a massive covered balcony at the back of the home that overlooks the inlet and offers ample seating, a dining table, and a daybed ideal for afternoon naps. The oceanside front porch is also covered and provides an additional outdoor area with rocking chairs for relaxing while taking in the ocean breeze.

Inside, the main living space features those impressive vistas, striking vaulted ceilings, wainscoting details, and a surplus of oceanside vibes! Gather together on the comfortable couch in front of the gas fireplace to watch shows and movies on the flatscreen TV. Or, head to the completely-equipped chef's kitchen to prepare your favorite drinks and culinary delights. It's outfitted with everything you'll need — including stainless steel appliances, ample counter space, and a humongous center island with bar seating for up to 3. If you happen to get a bit crabby without a morning coffee, the Keurig coffee maker here at The Crab Shack will do just the trick. And, when it's time to sit down for a meal, you can choose from the many outdoor tables or the main dining table that seats up to 8.

The 4 cavernous bedrooms are only steps away and provide a setup that's great for multi-generational families, a couples getaway, or a hideaway with friends! The primary suite features extravagant traditional furnishings, a king-size bed, and a flatscreen TV that can be adjusted to your preferred location by its swivel mount. Its ensuite bathroom delivers a spa-like experience with a double vanity and a sizable walk-in shower featuring floor-to-ceiling tile. Heading down the hall, you'll find a 2nd primary suite with a queen-size bed, flatscreen tv, and ensuite bathroom outfitted with a tub/shower combination and an extended vanity. The two remaining bedrooms are both equipped with a set of twin-size beds, flatscreen TVs, and share a bathroom featuring a tub/shower combination and extended vanity.

There's no way for us to include all the amenities you'll find at The Crab Shack — like the laundry room with a full-size washing machine and dryer, high-speed wireless internet, and an outdoor shower! And, when it's time to discover, you'll be mins. from The Point, Lone Rider at Oak Island, the Ocean Crest Pier, and all the top attractions in the area. What are you waiting for? Grab your next vacation by the claws, and book your stay today!

Tips and Tricks to get the best Southport vacation home experience:

When to book a Southport rental & When to go:

  • In the Southport area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation property six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
  • Booking your Southport vacation rental in Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes.
  • Owners sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
  • Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
  • Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guides have money saving offers on local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Use filters to search efficiently:

  • Choose vacation dates and budget.
  • Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Private Deep Water Dock and Pool with Inlet Views has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
  • Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually accessible online. If you don't see them listed, email the property manager before you book the property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
  • If your group is traveling with pets, you must book a pet-friendly property. Get details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.
  • Visiting for a specific attraction or event? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
  • Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

Considerations for your stay:

  • Be sure you get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
  • Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
  • Lock your rental home while you're away. Protect your property!
  • During check-in, note any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
  • Be a good neighbor. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
  • Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
  • Re-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
  • Go through the rental a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
  • Did your family have a terrific vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.

Victory Beach Vacations

Visitors who are on the hunt for the postcard-perfect vacation rental in the heart of the Carolina Beach or Kure Beach area will find an enticing selection and plenty of friendly customer service when they rent through Victory Beach Vacations. Based in Carolina Beach in the coastal Cape Fear region, Victory Beach Vacations has more than 100 vacation rentals in all shapes and sizes to ensure that every vacationing family can find their dream home away from home on the beach.   When you book your Cape Fear getaway with Victory Beach Vacations, the fun doesn’t end when you leave the beach, it continues with an array of privately-owned properties outfitted with all of the amenities needed for a fabulous beach vacation.   Jenna Lanier, General Manager, explains that her family first opened the rental and property management business in 2002. At the forefront of Victory Beach operations is Lanier’s mother, Caroline Meeks. Meeks is both the Broker in Charge and co-owner with husband, Buck Meeks, who manages the Field Services team with Lanier’s husband, Scott.   For nearly 20 years, the Victory Beach team has worked tirelessly to establish a network of top-of-the-line rental properties for Cape Fear visitors to enjoy. “As far as our properties go,” explains Lanier, “they are all updated, well-furnished and appointed. “We have always performed post-cleaning inspections and since the pandemic, have put freshly laundered duvets over all of the comforters between rentals.”   Lanier emphasizes how important the guests experience is “we strive to give our guests a relaxing, stress free, memorable vacation.” This emphasis on customer service has led to Victory Beach Vacations having a 4.8 Google rating with over 300 reviews by happy owners and guests.In addition to Victory Beach’s superior sanitation practices, the company offers properties for every type of visitor.

Many properties include pools and hot tubs as well, perfect for outdoor entertaining, and many are dog friendly.   Lanier also notes that all properties are within walking or driving distance to Pleasure Island’s main attractions – Carolina Beach and Kure Beach. The former, as described by Lanier, is the more commercialized of the two destinations and features a boardwalk, outdoor dining options and a plethora of weekly activities including fireworks, live music, amusement park pop-ups, and movies under the stars. Kure Beach offers a more residential feel with its fishing pier, intimate restaurants and family favorite, North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher.More water fun awaits, too. “There is a harbor and a canal that feed into the intercoastal. We have several properties on the harbor so guests can bring their boat, kayak, [or jet ski] and travel between islands,” says Lanier.   A stay with Victory Beach Vacations is an annual pilgrimage for most. “A large percentage of guests are previous guests. Some even reserve the same property for the next year as they’re checking out,” Lanier says. “It’s almost like it’s their personal vacation home.”   Even before guests arrive at their vacation destination, the Victory Beach Vacations’ website greets them with a live beach cam and exquisite aerial footage of both Carolina and Kure Beaches.
