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 outfitted 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 peaceful 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!
