The Space:
Welcome to Bahama Hut, a cozy getaway just steps from the beach with striking ocean vistas. This open and airy beach home is ideal for your group of 6 to take a pause on life and relax in Oak Island. The living room is roomy and offers a cozy space to relax with a good book or a movie nighttime. Meal prep will be a breeze in the huge kitchen that is set up for the chef of your group to whip up awesome meals, and you can all dine together around the table. The barstools provide a convenient spot to chat while cooking, or grab a snack before heading across the street to the beach.

Just off the main living area you will find 3 comfortable bedrooms configured for a variety of guests. 2 queen rooms and a twin room are ideal for any group - families with kids, couples, or gatherings of friends. Two full baths offer convenience and space to get ready for the day.

Step out onto the deck and discover unobstructed vistas of the ocean and sand. Appreciate a sunrise with a cup of coffee in the salt air, or just sit outside and soak it all in. The beach, sand, and surf are just steps away. After a day in the sun, take advantage of the outdoor shower to stay sand complimentary indoors, or freshen up with the in-home laundry.

If you're looking for evening activities or need a break from the beach, take a walk to close by Middleton Park. Located at the heart of Oak Island, there are a variety of markets, music events, festivals, and more in the summer. You can take a stroll along the walking path, or challenge a friend to a round of pickleball (or another game - there are other athletic courts available!) Take the kiddos to the splash pad or any of the jungle gyms to get some additional energy out. End the day with a local ice cream shop or grab a souvenir at one of the store.

Strategies to get the best rental home experience:

Get the most from your spending budget:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the best value, try changing your family's Southport vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer pleasant weather, , and greatly reduced traffic.
• Some hosts offer rate reductions for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Booking websites typically offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines have coupons for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Finding the best vacation home in the Southport area:

• Select a group lead, select your vacation week, and select a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Semi Oceanfront, Steps to Beach, Cozy Cottage has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is commonly accessible online. If they are not listed, contact the property management company before you reserve the property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Some properties allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property manager about your furry family members before booking.
• If there's an individual Southport attraction you are enamored with, keep an eye out for homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

Tips for your stay:

• We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, television set or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few difficulties.
• Lock your rental while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Record any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be useful if a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your peaceful home life. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at departure. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on great ratings to inspire more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
