It has withstood the test of time thru many a hurricane and still, she stands proudly at the east end of Ocean Isle Beach. This home offers a step back in time family vacation vibe. Tucked away on the secluded east end of the island, this ocean front home offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, living area, kitchen and a enormous deck that has unobstructed vistas of the Atlantic.

For those reading our reviews from 2021, you will see the comments about the high tide coming up under the home. This is no longer the case. At the beginning of 2022, there was a considerable amount of beach renourishment finished, along with a rock jetty installed that has now turned the beach into an "ascending beach", rather than a "descending beach".

Ocean Isle Beach has many dining and entertainment options. There's miniature golf, the maritime museum, homemade ice cream shop, rental stores for just about anything, pickle ball courts, tennis courts and playground in the center of the island. During the summer months, there are complimentary concerts weekly at the Town Center. For the anglers, you'll find the Ocean Isle Fishing Center for charters and excursions.

Just off the island is a Publix grocery store and Lowes food store. Golfers will delight in the multitude of golf courses in the area. Within a 15 min. drive is Calabash, known as one of the seafood capitals of the southeast. A 30 min. drive to the south is Myrtle Beach with shopping, dining, golf and entertainment options to suit any age group. 45 mins. to the north is historic downtown Wilmington. With all the offerings at your fingertips, we welcome you to our home on OIB.

Our top Southport vacation rental tips:

Find your perfect rental:

• Summer months are high season in the Southport area. Reserve your Southport rental property in Spring or Fall to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation property six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local Southport visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides have offers and deals for local tours and attractions.

Planning, selecting, and booking yourvacation home:

• Begin by choosing potential vacation weeks and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. SPECTACULAR VIEWS ~ NO BETTER THAN THIS! ~ UPDATED! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is usually accessible online. Otherwise, call the property management company before you book the property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to determine what is suitable for your vacation group.
• Visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the host about your furry family members before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your .
• To make certain that damages aren't attributed to your visit, make note of any problem areas during check in. Get in touch with the host immediately to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental while you're away. Protect your property!
• When it's time to leave, complete a walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean 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.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent ratings to stimulate more bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
