RIVER HOTEL OF SOUTHPORT ROOM 115 - Boasting vistas of the Oak Island and Bald Head Island lighthouses, this attractively appointed room has all the amenities - a supplied galley kitchen with full refrigerator and dishwasher, coffee maker, two queen size beds, a dining and desk area, as well as the spectacular vistas from your own private balcony. Located in the heart of the peaceful and cozy Southport historic district, this comfortable room offers a unique experience to step back in time. There is so much to see and savor in historic Southport that you could park your car at the hotel for your entire stay and walk everywhere and get to experience a lot! You can take your own leisurely tour of the historic neighborhood that surrounds this hotel and view all the interesting fisherman's cottages and Victorian Era homes with plaques dating all the way back to the 1700s and 1800s. At the same time, you can take in the spectacular vistas of the mouth of the Cape Fear River and long range vistas of Bald Head Island and Caswell Beach with the Oak Island Lighthouse. We highly recommend taking this leisurely tour around sunset when you can not only experience the spectacular sunset over the water, but also witness these old homes as the lights come on at nighttime with covered front porches set up like outdoor living rooms, table lamps glowing and people sitting around talking as nighttime falls. You will find the people friendly and are likely get a wave and a "Hello!" as you walk by. Each home has its own historic story to tell as you will read on the plaques, or you can take a guided tour to learn more specifics about Southport's history. Taking just a short walk over to the Southport Visitor's Center will fill you in on all the interesting things there are to do! Unwind on one of the swings at the waterfront or walk over to the Southport Marina to go boating out on the water. Unique local shopping and fine or casual dining are all just steps away from your hotel room. Don't forget, the beach is also just a short 10-15 min. drive over to Oak Island! Whether you are staying just a few nights or for a week or longer, this quaint hideaway will have you leaving the fast pace of normal life behind and slowing down to Southport time!

Tips and Tricks to get the optimal Southport rental home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Southport. To get the largest rental home for your budget, we recommend reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites typically offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides contain coupons for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Finding the perfect rental home:

• First, have your family select dates and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. 1BR\/1BA Hotel Room - POOL, ELEVATOR, Sleeps 4 has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the host before booking the property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly rental. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Have a great stay:

• Get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let crooks ruin your family vacation.
• To make sure no damages are attributed to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas upon your arrival. Speak to the host immediately to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• At departure, take a walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on good ratings to stimulate new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your feedback find their best vacation rental. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
