Outdoor living is at its best at The Feighery Tail: with a firepit seating area in the front, and a shaded hot tub patio in the back yard, complete with a generous cushioned outdoor living room. Our striking Oak Island bungalow is a .7 mile walk to the beach down a sleepy lane.  (Or a three min. drive.)  Swim, surf, and sun yourself and then walk to Grocery stores, Barbecue, Ice Cream, and Putt Putt, all close by. If you prefer to fish the marshes or run out to the inlet from the ICW, boats and trailers are no problem and there is ample parking. The public boat ramp is super close! Screened-in porches, a hot water outdoor shower, and a gas grille make this the ideal island vacation home year round.

Our street is a straight walk through to the beach access. Nearby Middleton Park provides food trucks and a cabana with showers/ bathrooms.  You will have painless access to the splash pad, skate park, and baseball fields if you need a diversion from the sand for a while. And, don’t miss stopping for a Dole Whip from a close by food truck.  Our home is an simple visit to grocery shopping, dining, and bar spots, as well as various ice cream, coffee, and donut options.

Things To Do:
Oak Island is known for its golden sand beaches, calming blue waters, friendly community, and close proximity to the cities of Southport, Wilmington, and Myrtle Beach. There are many cute island coffee stores, stores, breweries, a town park, a gorgeous Golf Club open to summer travelers, and over 100 public water access points. There is an abundance of all things adventurous to do on Oak Island! 
Surf Fishing doesn’t get much better than Oak Island.  From busy public beaches to hidden creeks, from green park areas to grassy flats where you can wade – surf fishing here can be whatever you want it to be. Bring your favorite gear or hit one of the many bait and tackle stores to rent some, and you’ll be ready to cast away. For the best of all options, take a local guide from one of our many fishing charters dotted around the island who will cater to your group’s every need.
If you'd like to keep your exercise routine going while on vacation, you can get an out-of-town Gym pass at Oak Island Recreation Center. Utilize the Rec Center's ample parking, put in at the Kayak ramp and spend hours kayaking our pretty marshes.  Sit on the lawn and savor a nighttime off cooking at our Weekly Friday nighttime "Summer Concert In The Park" with a couple of local food truck options at this family centric Live Music event. Beach Day takes place in Oak Island on the Friday prior to July 4th and features all day activities followed by fireworks on the island that evening.
Visit Historic Southport, a seafaring town just five miles from our island, for a bigger nightlife. Southport, at the confluence of the Cape Fear River and the Atlantic Ocean, features a variety of different eateries, bars, live music and shopping. It is one of our favorite places to walk around and check out different food and live music on the weekends. Free parking options are all over town, and you can conveniently walk to dozens of places while appreciating the breeze from the riverfront and admiring historic homes and general store buildings that date back to the early 1800s. Southport's State Fourth of July Festival is a three-day street fair with artists from all over the state, vendors, and food. It is really like being in an Andy Griffith episode with the parade and huge finale fireworks show over the river front in Southport.
We look forward to your visit!

Strategies to get the perfect rental home experience:

Getting the best rental value:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in Oak Island. Booking your Southport vacation rental in the Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local Southport visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines contain deals for local accommodations and attractions.

Planning, picking, and booking a perfect Southport rental home:

• Select vacation week and budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. The Feighery Tail - Dogs Allowed - Fire Pit - Hot Tub- Private Home has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is commonly accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property manager before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You will need to determine what bed configuration is right for your vacation.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Southport beach you long to visit, browse rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let burglars ruin your vacation.
• To make sure no damages are attributed to your family's stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon your arrival. E-mail the property manager immediately to record any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Just before checking out, take a final walk-through to make sure you have not leave anything behind. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
