Summer Sea offers guests a private pool, elevator and keyless entry near Saint James by the Sea. The aqua exterior echoes the broad vistas of the Atlantic Ocean off the wraparound, first floor covered porch and second floor deck. Ample outdoor furnishings encourages guests to maximize their time outside, whether catching rays in a lounge chair by the pool or greeting the morning in a brightly colored Adirondack rocker while sipping your morning coffee.

With an inverted floor plan, multiple sliding glass doors and enormous picture windows, guests won’t miss the view when they step into the open concept living area. Here, guests can gather on the sectional couch, around the dining table (which seats 10) or in the u-shaped kitchen (with seating for three more at the counter). Stainless appliances, cherry cabinets, solid surface countertops and a tile backsplash set the stage for preparing memorable family meals. There is a second living area located on the first floor with a wet bar.

Notable tech offerings include TV's in all rooms, wireless internet and convenient lamps with constructed-in charging stations (the latter is in two of the bedrooms). Other amenities include an enclosed outside shower and covered parking on the ground level.

Finding the best Oak Island rental home experience:

Get the best value:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in Oak Island. Reserve your Southport rental in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitors guide magazines which will include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Choosing the perfect rental:

• Select a group leader, choose your trip dates, and choose a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Summer Sea: Ocean Views Abound at this Colorful Rental with Private Pool and Ele has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible online. If not, contact the property manager before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to establish what configuration is right for your group.
• 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! Pet fees or could be applied to your contract.
• Does your family require unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Add the owner's contact info to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many problems.
• Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let thieves spoil your family vacation.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your stay, note any problem areas upon your arrival. Contact the rental manager right away to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a wonderful time? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
