Desirably located on the West End of Oak Island and just across the street from the ocean, The Shady Lady waits to welcome your family on their next beach vacation. With broad porches on the front and back of the property that include covered decks as well as open areas for sunbathing, relaxation begins before even stepping into the front door of this newly refreshed home.

Once you pull yourself away from the view and move into the open concept living area with vaulted ceilings, you’ll notice the property lives up to its name. Bask in the comfortable seating beckons, inviting hours of conversation, or time spent in front of the enormous wall-mounted flat screen TV cheering on your favorite teams. Clean lines, sandy neutrals and cool blues soothe the senses and draw the eye to the eat in kitchen and its gleaming quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances. The oval table comfortably seats six for family meals or game nighttime, with additional barstool seating for five at the kitchen counter.

This classic floorplan provides two bedrooms on each floor connected by a Jack and Jill style full bath. On the first floor, the oceanfront bedroom provides a comfortable king-sized bed, and a bunk room provides three twin beds in a non-traditional bunk bed format, with two lower berths and one upper berth.

Upstairs, you’ll find a second king bedroom facing the ocean, and a queen-sized bed in the second bedroom on that floor. Each of the four bedrooms provides its own TV, so no one has to miss their favorite show! The second level also features a modest lounge room equipped with a twin-daybed and twin trundle, and creates a flexible space for reading, peaceful conversation, or additional sleeping quarters.

Appreciate your favorite cup of coffee on the covered deck while watching the sunrise. Share memorable moments when spending quality time with appreciated ones in this enchanting home. Listen to the waves crash as you breathe in the crisp island air. There's even a 50-amp outlet to charge your electric car or RV, though guests will need to provide their own charging cord. Whatever your reason for a hideaway, Shady Lady has it all!

Guests with allergies should note that although no family pets are allowed for guest stays, a modest dog may occasionally be present during owner reservations.

Our top Oak Island vacation rental tips:

Finding the best rental value:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To find the largest rental home within budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
