Feel true Oceanview Bliss with a stay at this bright and cheerful condo located in the oceanfront Southern Shores Villas complex, located in the heart of Oak Island's East Beach. Drink in charming vistas of the sea from your living room, private covered porch and master bedroom.

Fun tropical details are scattered throughout the open concept living space. Gather in front of the TV to stream a favorite movie as you relax on the couch or an upsized armchair. The sturdy dining table seats six and provides plenty of space for meals or a family boardgame. The kitchen features everything you need to prepare during your stay. Lay out the ultimate sandwich buffet on the breakfast bar or prepare the catch of the day on the broad counters. A laundry closet opposite the kitchen is supplied with a full-sized washer and dryer for your convenience.

The master bedroom is furnished with a king bed and features direct covered porch access as well as a private en suite bathroom. Listen to the waves as you drift off each evening and open the sliding doors to greet each day with a breath of fresh ocean air. Both bathrooms in the unit are equipped with a standard tub/shower combo. The second bathroom offers hall access as well as direct access to the second bedroom, which also has a king bed. The final bedroom provides a double bed, and all sleeping spaces have ceiling fans for your personal comfort.

The covered balcony looks out over the pool area to the sea and the countless horizon beyond. While the two sections of the porch are connected, a partial wall affords some privacy between the portion off the living room and the portion off the master bedroom. Each of these areas is furnished with a pair of captain's chairs and a bistro table. Appreciate your morning coffee as you watch seabirds swoop and soar, or gaze at the sun as it dips below the horizon and paints the sea and sky with a rainbow of color as you sip on a invigorating drink.

When you're ready to hit the sand, beach access is fast and painless due to dedicated complex access points. Settle in at the covered gazebo and sway on one of the porch swings for a moment before you crest the dune and lay out your blanket. If you need a break from the surf, cool off in the oceanfront pool instead. Additional community amenities include a grilling and picnic area as well as an outdoor shower for rinsing off before heading inside.

Located in simple walking distance from a number of local eateries, beach stores, ice cream stores, nightlife and even an arcade, you can walk along the main drag in the evening to appreciate nostalgic activities as a family. Or embark on any number of coastal adventures, from exploring close by historic Southport to venturing via ferry to the Fort Fisher Aquarium or other Wilmington-area attractions. However you like to spend your beach vacation, Oceanview Bliss is ready to serve as your happy place while your family builds memories that will last a lifetime.

Tips and Tricks for getting the best Oak Island rental home experience:

Finding the best rental value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Booking your Carolina Beach vacation home in Fall or Spring months is our favorite way to save money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property management companies often offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides have deals for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Begin by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group needs. Oceanview Bliss: Walk to Everything from this Cheerful Beachfront Condo has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Carolina Beach vacation rental search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the property owner before you book your rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• Is your family looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• Some properties allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the owner about your furry family members before booking.

Tips for a great stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your phone.
• Document any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental while you're out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Just prior to departing, take a walk-through to confirm you have not forget anything. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. 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? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
