Perched on the third floor (there is no elevator in the complex), the condo has the ideal expansive view from pier to pier. It's close enough to all the impressive action at the boardwalk, yet far enough away from the hordes to provide tranquility and peaceful.

Your extraordinary vistas of the ocean, from every room, will provide hours of enjoyment while you watch the pelicans, sea gulls, shore birds, and porpoise (and maybe even a whale!) . Allow your senses to be awakened by the ocean breeze. You'll adore the tall chairs and tall stools on the balcony so you can see OVER the railing instead of through it! You feel like you're right ON the beach!!

Our storage closet next to the private beach walkway is full of goodies that will take away the worries of purchases and will save you money! You'll find visors, coolers, beach chairs, beach umbrella, sand toys, and body boards. There are 2 community pools (cleaned every day during season) and 4 outdoor showers. Pools are open May-October.

Free fireworks over the ocean on Thursdays, during the summer, can be seen right from the balcony! Fudge, ice cream, sweet treats....seafood and oysters, pizza, barbeque...all within walking distance. And don't miss the variety of unique shoppes.

The Ft. Fisher aquarium, Ft. Fisher Museum and Historic Site, and the Ferry to Southport are only a 5 min. drive down the beach.

Strategies to get the perfect Southport vacation rental experience:

Getting the best rental value:

• To get the best vacation home within budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at local restaurants, tours, 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? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Many management companies supply Southport area visitor guides which include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning and picking the perfect Southport rental:

• Begin by choosing a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Breathtaking Oceanfront Views From Pier To Pier has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available online. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before booking your home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If there's a specific Southport beach you love, browse rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or costs applied to your invoice.

Tips for a wonderful stay:

• Add the property manager's contact information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Note any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be useful if damages are assessed.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, intercom or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent lots of concerns.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are out! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected everything. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
