Welcome to our family beach home, with a partial sea view from the back deck and a front porch shaded by oak trees. Located in the peaceful Yaupon area of Oak Island, this “home away from home” is only steps away from the beach so you do not have to pay parking costs to savor the beach or pier. Appreciate handsome sunrises over the close by pier and spectacular sunsets along the beach. This ideal location is a short walk to eateries, coffee stores, and more! AND you’re just a 15-min. drive from the town of Southport or a 45-min. drive from the beach city of Wilmington, both historical locations with more waterside eateries and tons of family activities. So much to do - book while you can!

Our bungalow is a single story home with an open and airy feel. The main highlights are a enormous shaded front porch and sunny open back deck with peek-a-boo vistas of the ocean. Savor rocking on the decks or sitting on the swing seat and listening to the calming sound of the waves crashing on the beach.

The cozy historic town of Southport is 6 miles away and offers something fun for everybody! Boat tours, ferry to Bald Head Island, Waterfront Park, and a variety of waterfront eateries. The city of Wilmington is also only a 45 min.-drive away and while much busier than this area, it offers many fun family acitivities such as an aquarium, Jungle Rapids Family Fun Park, escape rooms, animal parks, and the historic riverwalk with waterfront eateries.

How to get the best Oak Island rental experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Summertime is high season in Oak Island. To get the best value, try shifting your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer great weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked very early. Booking your rental property up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Many property management companies supply Wilmington, NC area travel guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

More tips for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Add a note with the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Record any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are helpful if there is a dispute.

• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let burglars ruin your holiday.
• Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent ratings to stimulate more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback.
