Ensure your next beach vacation is a true Island Retreat with a stay at this elegant modern home complete with an oceanfront hot tub and covered dunetop gazebo! With two master suites, plenty of seating and spectacular outdoor spaces to discover, there’s enough room for the entire family to spread out here.

Settle down in the living room to watch the big game on the 70 inch flatscreen TV on your choice of a pair of rocking armchairs, a pair of recliners or the reclining couch. Play a board game or appreciate your morning coffee at the 47" round table with four chairs as you gaze out over the water. To the opposite side of the living room, a rectangular dining table and modest drop leaf table seat a total of 18 guests. The adjacent galley-style kitchen offers stainless-steel appliances and plenty of cabinet and counter space. Clean local produce or the catch of the day in the farmhouse sink as you watch palm fronds sway in the breeze.

Just off the kitchen is a half bath for your convenience, along with a bedroom that provides a queen bed. All bedrooms in the home include their own TV for personal entertainment, so there’s no need to argue over the remote in the evenings. Just off the living room, you’ll discover the first master suite with a king bed and attached private bath with step in shower, along with direct porch access that makes stealing a fast dip in the hot tub before bed a breeze. With access available from the living room as well, this covered porch is furnished with rocking chairs and a classic wooden picnic table. The hot tub is located in an attached entirely fenced open deck with gates for safety, and a cold-water shower rinse off here helps ensure that sand stays on the beach!

Upstairs you’ll discover the rest of the home’s bedrooms and bathrooms. The second master suite is positioned directly above the first and also offers a king bed. This attached bath contains a standard tub/shower combo, and the room also provides direct access to the upper open sun deck, which is furnished with both lounge chairs and Adirondack chairs as well as striking vistas of the Atlantic. A secondary suite across the hall contains one queen bed and one double bed, and direct access to the same deck space. Both master suites and the secondary suite offer beautiful vistas of the sea. An attached standard full bath also offers hall access and is shared with the bedroom next door, which is also furnished with two queen beds. At the end of the hall, the final full bathroom with hall access is shared by two bedrooms that are each equipped with a queen bed.

When you’re ready to set up on the beach for the day, you’ll find a dedicated sand path right at the foot of the steps of your covered dunetop gazebo, once again gated for safety and offering classic rocking chairs and constructed in bench seating. Watch the kids fly kites or build castles on the shore while you sit in shade and comfort! On the ground level of the home, you’ll find an additional rinse off shower, this time with hot and cold water, along with a park style charcoal grille if you care to prepare out. Gather the family and escape to your Island Retreat today!

Strategies to get the best Southport vacation property experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. To find the best value, try changing your family's Southport vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• In the Southport area, The earlier your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are reserved very early. Booking your vacation home up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers typically offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitors guides that include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

More considerations for your visit:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, record any problem areas upon your arrival. Call the rental manager right away to document any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.

• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at departure. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a terrific time? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
