Rest and relaxation are yours at the oceanfront bungalow Surfsong, located among mature tropical landscaping and privacy planting for a secluded feeling along the dunes of Oak Island’s West End. The entire family is welcomed at this vacation rental, which is supplied with kid-friendly amenities and even accepts one dog weighing 50lbs or less per reservation.

This classic Carolina bungalow has been refreshed with luxury vinyl plank floor throughout the living areas, kitchen and baths, and all interior doors have been replaced with new white, solid wooden doors with a bungalow look. Appreciate ocean vistas from every room in the home!

If you tire of watching the waves, three flat screen LCD TVs, extended cable, a VCR, DVD player and wireless internet provide plenty of entertainment options. You’ll also find more nostalgic pastimes like books, puzzles, games and cards, and a booster seat and playpen for younger guests. The sturdy dining table can seat up to eight for meals of game nights, with an additional three seats at the adjacent breakfast bar.

On either side of the common spaces, you’ll find two bedrooms sharing hall access to a full standard bathroom. Three bedrooms are furnished with queen beds, while the final room has two twins instead. Each bedroom has its own vanity and mirror to make getting ready after a day on the beach a breeze, as well as a ceiling fan for your personal comfort.

You’re sure to spend most of your hours outside, whether you choose to settle in the classic wooden rockers, the porch swing or the hammock. Unwind on the oceanfront covered porch, with a deck and railings replaced in 2024, and soak in calming ocean vistas. Dine al fresco at the picnic table on the covered front porch after cooking up the catch of the day on the Weber grille. Savor direct beach access when you’re ready to hit the sand, or watch the little ones build sandcastles from the elevated dunetop deck with constructed in seating instead. When you’re had enough of the sun and sea, rinse sand off babies and fur-babies alike at the enclosed shower with hot and cold water under the home or the open boardwalk shower above.

Ensure your next vacation memories play out to the music of Surfsong and book your stay today!

How to find the best Southport vacation rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Southport area. Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring is a good way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area travel guides which often include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Select a designated group leader, select your dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group requires. Surfsong: Classic Oceanfront Cottage, Dog-friendly has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is regularly accessible on booking pages. If not, email the property management company before booking the home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or costs applied to your agreement.
• Looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental

Tips for a smooth stay:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your .
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent lots of problems.
• Keep the property locked while you're out! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• During arrival, record any damages to the property and immediately alert the host. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a fantastic stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable 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 review.
