Add striking vistas of the sunset from the west-facing balcony and windows along with excellent community amenities like a seasonal pool for a really impressive stay.

The open concept living area is warmly decorated in beachy tones. Sink into the couch, which pulls out to a queen bed if needed, or settle into one of the mid-century modern armchairs instead. Stream cartoons for the kids as you get ready for a day filled with adventure. The square kitchen table seats four, and an additional four seats are available at the adjacent breakfast bar.

When it’s time to retire for the evening, each of the two bedrooms is furnished with a TV so you can let the little ones drift off to a favorite movie or Mom and Dad can stay up late even if someone is sleeping in the living room. The master bedroom has a king bed, and the second bedroom has two twins. Each bedroom also offers an attached private bathroom with a step-in shower stall, and the bathroom attached to the twin room provides plenty of floor space in case you have to help younger members of your event.

Step through the sliding French doors in the living room to greet the day on the modest open balcony. Cradle a cup of coffee as the sun warms your skin and reflects off the sea as it stretches across the horizon. When it’s time to hit the beach, you’ll find access is just a short walk away. Watch the condo’s namesake sandpipers flit across the shore as the kids play in the surf or build sandcastles. If you’re ready to cool off but need a break from the sand, take a dip in the complex’s pool instead.

Ready to discover all Oak Island has to offer? You can’t beat this location. Some of the island’s most fashionable dining spots are right around the corner, including Thai and Vine and The Pirate’s Deck. Have a friendly family competition at the close by arcade and follow up with a sweet treat at one of the many ice cream and candy stores within just a few blocks, or pop into one of the beach stores for a souvenir.

Strategies to get the perfect Southport vacation property experience:

When to reserve a Southport rental home & When to go:

• In the Southport area, The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are booked very early. Reserving your vacation home six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• To find the best value, try shifting your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warm temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many property management companies supply Southport area visitor guide magazines which will include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Selecting the perfect vacation rental in Oak Island:

• Select a group leader, select your dates, and choose a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. The Island Sandpiper: Walk to Everything from this Dog-friendly Condo has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport vacation rental search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally available online. Otherwise, email or call the property management company before booking the property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to work out what is best for your vacation family.
• Some properties allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask your host about pet restrictions before booking.
• Visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

Have a fantastic stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Save the instructions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few concerns.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• To make certain that damages are not attributed to your family's stay, inspect the property for any problem areas upon your arrival. Contact the host immediately to report any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a fantastic resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all belongings. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from 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.
• Did your group have a excellent vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
