The best beach vacations are spent on Southern Horizons! Let your cares drift away as you float in the elevated ocean-facing pool, savor your morning coffee as you watch the waves from the private covered porch off the master suite, or walk along the shore to search for seaborne treasures via the beach access path right across the street.

The bright and airy living room includes cathedral ceilings that create a roomy and welcoming ambiance. Cuddle up on the couches to watch the big game on the Roku TV as you appreciate the sound of waves crashing in the distance. The wooden dining table is set for six, with an additional four seats at the available breakfast bar. Tucked just around the corner, the kitchen is equipped with everything you need to prepare dinner for your crew or to get the day started on the right foot- a tea kettle, traditional drip coffee makers and a Keurig-style machine are all supplied. A half bath is also available off the common spaces for convenience, and a laundry closet homes a full-size washer and dryer for use during your stay.

The first of two master suites is also located on this level, furnished with a queen bed and a TV for personal entertainment. The attached private bathroom contains a standard tub/shower combo. All other bedrooms are on the second floor, and each also contains a private TV so there’s no need to fight over the remote in the evening! The second master suite provides a king bed and private standard bathroom, along with direct access to a private ocean-facing covered porch where you’re sure to find yourself spending at least a few moments at the start and end of each day. The final two bedrooms are each furnished with a double bed and a twin-over-double bunk bed and are connected by a Jack and Jill bathroom.

Outside, the front porch provides both covered and shaded areas. Appreciate peaceful conversation as you sway on classic rocking chairs or gather around the Polywood picnic table to enjoy a low country boil pot under the Carolina blue skies as sea breezes tease your hair. You can even catch some rays on the poolside loungers as the kids cool down in the pool without any waves to contend with. Underneath the home, an additional picnic table, rocking chairs and even a porch swing offer an additional shady respite. An enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water makes rinsing sand off after a trip to the beach simple, and if you prefer to prepare out, a charcoal grille is supplied. There’s plenty of parking available in the driveaway, including covered spaces. Gather your crew and embark on an adventure to Southern Horizons today!

Our top Oak Island vacation rental home tips and tricks:

When to book & When to go:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To get the best value, change your family's Cape Fear area trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Some hosts offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guide magazines contain money saving offers on nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select a designated group leader, select your dates, and choose a budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Southern Horizons: Elevated Pool, Ocean Views, Near Beach Access has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the property management company before you book your rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to work out what is suitable for your vacation family.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Is your group looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Tips to have a wonderful stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent many problems.
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let crooks ruin your holiday.
• At Check-in, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a terrific time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
