Come savor the coastal lifestyle at its best on OKI! This newly refreshed 3 bedroom, 2 bath home is located on a peaceful street of Oak Island. This home is ideal for friends and families who want to relax and appreciate a calming getaway. Convenient to the beach and Intracoastal Waterway. Bring your fishing rods and beach attire! Just two streets over from direct beach access via Middleton Avenue and only steps away from handsome Yacht Drive, ideal for those peaceful morning strolls out to Veterans Park which is a great place to go fishing or savor your morning coffee on one of the swings and watch the fishing boats go by.

After a day of fun at the beach come home and relax on the broad screened-in front porch. Waste away a lazy afternoon in the hammock with your favorite book or just sit a spell on the porch swing and take in the ocean breeze. The smell of Jasmine in the air is enchanting during the spring months and gazing at the starlit ocean sky from the front porch is a favorite way to spend those lazy summer evenings. At nighttime, when all is peaceful on the island, it’s a special treat to rock on the front porch and listen to the relaxing ocean waves in the distance.

This bungalow is gorgeously adorned in a modern coastal style that will have you moving at a slower pace and living on island time. Appreciate the open floor plan of the living room, dining area, and kitchen, ideal for spending quality time with family and friends. The living room has a flat-screen TV so you can relax on the couch and enjoy streaming Netflix or your favorite show on Roku. We also provide some family-friendly games and cards to relax after a long day at the beach.

The Kitchen is completely equipped for those who enjoy preparing and serving meals. Included in the Kitchen are a Fridge, flat top stove and oven, dishwasher, microwave, air fryer, blender, and coffee maker.

The dining room table provides seating for 6. We provide a modest supply of paper towels, toilet paper, hand soap, and dish soap to get you started. The Beach Pantry is located just a little over half a mile from the home and there are multiple grocery stores on the island where you can find everything you need for your stay.

There are three bedrooms, each with their own island theme. In the master bedroom relax with the sea turtles. There is a queen-size bed, tall dresser, and closet to store your belongings. The master bathroom has a shower to allow for added privacy. Lighthouses abound in the second bedroom which is the biggest of the three and has a king-size bed, armoire, nightstand, and desk. Also in this room, you will find a variety of books available for your enjoyment. The third bedroom will sleep 3 with a twin over twin bunk bed as well as a twin daybed. Boats and buoys decorate this room which comes with ample storage in the day bed drawers, dresser, and closet.

The side porch offers an extended platform with a hose for cleaning off your feet and beach gear after appreciating the sand and waves. There is a paved driveway to park your car with convenient access to the front or side doors. Both doors are equipped with keypads, so you don’t have to worry about keeping up with keys in your beach bag.

Tips and Tricks to get the best rental experience:

When to visit Oak Island & When to reserve a rental home:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To book the largest rental home within budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guides contain deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Planning, selecting, and booking the perfectrental:

• Start by choosing your vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group requires. Relaxing coastal cottage- Convenient to the Beach, Screened in Porch has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is regularly available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property management company before you book the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a property that allows animals. Get details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific Southport beach you long to visit, search for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.

During your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Save the instructions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Record any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be useful if there is a dispute.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a terrific time? Many rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
