Kick back and relax in our little slice of heaven, just moments away from East Beach. Tucked inside the shade of the enchanting Maritime Forest, our bungalow is the ideal hideaway for families and beach lovers needing to let loose, breath deep and have fun! Catch a cool ocean breeze from one of our two comfortable screened in porches -- ideal for a peaceful cup of coffee, great conversation or family board game. Get anywhere on the island quickly in one of our 4-person golf carts. Two come with your stay.

Because quality time is the best part of BHI, we equipped our bungalow with tons of extras. Two 4-person golf carts, streaming services on a 55” intelligent TV, TVs in most bedrooms, gas grille, highchair, cribs, games, kid toys and sand toys, beach chairs, fishings rods, body boards, sun shades, and more. Use our bicycles too! We have two adult bicycles (one with a kid seat on the back) and one kid bicycle (ideal for a 7-10 year old).

There are two bedrooms in the main home and one over the detached garage. All bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms. A ideal set up for a group of friends, two modest families or one big family.

The kitchen is equipped with everything you need and more - Burkee water filter, toaster oven, air fryer, Instapot pressure cooker and slow cooker, Cuisinart ice cream maker, and quality kitchen knives.

All bedrooms come with Dom sound machines. Both guest rooms have a TV with streaming services or DVD player and tons of DVDs.

Guests have the option to purchase a guest pass to the BHI Club or Shoals Club, which has many phenomenal amenities, including golf, pools, playgrounds, and eateries. It's a must for a family beach vacation!

Booking the best Southport vacation rental experience:

Sticking to a spending budget:

• In the Southport area, The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are reserved very early. Reserving your rental six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Southport area. Book your rental home in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Many property management companies supply Southport area visitors guide magazines that include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select your vacation week and maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Cozy Family Retreat Near East Beach has 3 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is often accessible on booking websites. If not, contact the property owner before you book the vacation property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your family is traveling with pets, search for a property that allows animals. Request details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Looking for particular amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

Have a great stay:

• Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let thieves ruin your vacation.
• Upon check-in, note any damages to the property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers disrupting your peaceful home. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a wonderful stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
