NEWLY RENOVATED--This is our family beach home. We hope that you will adore our striking home as much as we do! We modernized it over 2019 and 2020 and are now renting the home on a limited basis.

The Poisson Beach House features an open floor plan living room on the third floor with vaulted ceilings and vistas of the sound and ocean. The handsome tile on the wood fireplace and wet bar was imported from Italy. The open kitchen is completely supplied and accepts you to be social and prepare a killer meal at the same time. There is a handsome half bath on the third floor available to your guests. There is also a huge master suite on the third floor with a four-poster bed and en suite bath. The master bedroom opens to a porches on both the ocean and sound side of the home.

The home is just as comfortable outside as it is inside. The eight porches will allow your family to take full advantage of the sea air during your stay. Each bedroom opens onto its own porch, as does each living space. The main porch is located on the third floor of the home on the ocean side. It features a comfortable outdoor sectional that is ideal for calming and appreciating your coffee or a beverage. There is also a hammock chair and benches for additional seating. The rear porches are great for enjoying some yoga or a good book. The rear upper porch off of the dining area is screened and has a table and chairs to allow you to dine al fresco. There is also an effortlessly accessible gas grille on this porch that is convenient to the kitchen.

The second floor of the home has a game room complete with TV, pool table, card table and couch for relaxing. There are three bedrooms on the second floor, each with its own en suite bathroom. One bedroom features two twin beds, another bedroom features a full bed, and the third bedroom features two queen sized beds. The twin and full bedrooms open to an outdoor living area on a screened in porch.

There is no need to worry about carrying your suitcases and groceries up all of the stairs because the property features an elevator. The elevator is available for use by guests, but we ask that kids not be allowed to use the elevator unsupervised.

Under the home we provide you with all of the amenities you will need for a fun beach stay. We provide beach chairs, two beach cruisers, a beach umbrella, beach toys, body boards, a frisbee and a portable volleyball set. There is also a regulation ping pong table ideal for friendly family fun. Our outdoor shower will allow you to clean off before returning to the home at the end of the day. We are located just a short walk from the beach or from the sound. This home has brought us a lot of joy over the years, and we are excited to share it with you. Our home has been meticulously maintained, no family pets please!

Tips to get the very best vacation property experience:

Get the most from your spending budget:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Southport area. To find the largest vacation home within your budget, we highly recommend reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite Southport restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies often offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitor guides which will include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Filter your search:

• First, have your family select dates and a maximum budget.
• Family-Friendly
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible on booking websites. If not, contact the property management company before booking the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to work out what is suitable for your group.
• Does your family require special amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• Remember to include your furry companions! 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 the property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or costs could be applied to your invoice.

More considerations for your visit:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Save the directions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• To make certain that no damages are attributed to your stay, inspect for any problem areas upon your arrival. message the property manager right away to relay any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many concerns.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• At departure, take a walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a fantastic stay? Most rental managers make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
