Feel the ultimate in relaxation as you allow yourself to drift with the proverbial tides and sway with the swells of the sea during a stay at Jellyfish Cottage. Boasting a unique two-wing floor plan with ocean vistas and decorated in shades of sand and sea grass, bohemian textures and understated nautical elements throughout the home combine with a sense of whimsy and invite you to slow down, linger and discover.

Enter from the partially covered deck into the bright and welcoming living room. A pair of chairs and a plush couch beckon with their abundance of throw pillows and woven blankets. Gather together to watch a favorite movie on the wall-mounted intelligent TV, or watch the sun glisten on the waves instead. When it's time to retire for the nighttime, the couch converts to a twin bed if additional sleeping space is needed.

The sturdy oval dining table seats six guests, with space for an additional four available at the close by breakfast bar. The gleaming white kitchen is outfitted with everything you need to prepare meals together during your stay, and the under-cabinet lighting along with plenty of counterspace for preparation and storage help you feel right at home. Gaze out the window and watch pelicans and gulls swoop into the sea or watch for dolphins playing as you rinse local produce in the sink. Pendulum lights in the kitchen reminiscent of a jellyfish's bell and a seashell chandelier over the dining table provide the ideal finishing touches to this space.

You'll also find the master suite in the south wing, furnished with a king bed and enormous wall-mounted intelligent TV. The classic iron bedstand, comfortable throw blankets and fluffy bed linens entice you to grab a book from the close by dresser and settle in. The en suite bathroom features his and hers sinks and a standard tub/shower combo with a sliding glass door.

Between the south and north wings of the home you'll discover a enchanting partially covered porch, certain to become the center of your vacation memories. Savor a meal al fresco here as you're cooled by the ocean breeze at the outdoor dining table seating six. There's plenty of space for kids or dogs to romp and burn off energy as the family gets ready to hit the beach - this home accepts up to two dogs per stay. The laundry closet is located here as well, filled with a stackable washer and dryer and conveniently available whenever you need it without disturbing other group members.

In the north wing of the home, you'll find a short hallway connecting two bedrooms and a full bathroom with a standard tub/shower combo with a sliding glass door. Both bedrooms provide wall-mounted intelligent TVs for personal entertainment. The first room is furnished with two double beds and the second bedroom offers two twin beds. Coordinating linens and furnishings throughout the space adds to the resort-like feel, and the separation of the wings accepts you to effortlessly settle little ones to bed while the adults continue to appreciate their evening.

Downstairs, the roomy enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water is a lifesaver when it comes time to rinse sand off of babies and fur-babies after a long day at the beach. Speaking of the beach, a walk of less than 400 feet takes you from your doorstep to the sand via the public beach access point. Thanks to the well-established vegetation on the dunes to your west and a narrowing of the island that means fewer homes, you'll set up on one of the most private stretches of Oak Island's West Beach. Soak in the serenity of nature and let your cares drift away by booking a vacation at Jellyfish Cottage today!

Southport rental property booking tips and tricks:

Find your perfect rental:

• The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Reserving your vacation rental 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Summer is high season in the Southport area. Book your Southport rental property in Fall or Spring to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitors guide magazines which include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning, selecting, and booking yourrental:

• Choose your vacation dates and max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Jellyfish Cottage: Dog-Friendly Boho Elegance with Ocean Views has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the host before booking the home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or charges might be applied to your contract.
• Looking for special amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental home.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

More tips for your stay:

• Get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few concerns.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• To make certain that damages are not attributed to your family's stay, inspect for any problem areas during arrival. Contact the host immediately to record any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• At departure, complete a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to inspire new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
