Located on the 2nd row, you can sit in the Rockers on the Front Deck & watch the waves tumble in & hear them crash onto the sandy shore. Because OKI is a South-Facing Beach, you can watch both the Sunrise & Sunset over the water. Sit back, relax & you may spy Fishing & Shrimp Boats headed in, ladened down with their hulls full & in the distance, possibly even a Container Ship as it begins to make its way from the vast Atlantic to the Port of Wilmington. The Front & Back Decks have a gate to keep curious kids from discovering the downstairs without assistance.

The Entirely-Stocked Kitchen includes Drip Coffee Maker/Slow Cooker/Griddle/Hand Mixer. For inspiration, flip through one of numerous cookbooks to determine which delicious meal you will prepare next. One of the standouts in the serviceware are the impressive dishes on which to serve your oysters on the ½ shell. Just outside the Kitchen door is a table to serve your dinner Al Fresco. A modest propane grille is also on the back deck. A Full-Sized Propane Grille awaits your seafood caught or bought downstairs. You can serve your meals in the open air underneath the bungalow at the picnic table. While you are waiting for dinner to be prepared, play a game of Corn Hole on the regulation-sized boards.

Inside, with convenient proximity to the kitchen, is the dining area. Additional seating for 4 at the kitchen bar. Watch your favorite shows on the Enormous Screen Intelligent TV in the Living Area. With tons of comfortable seating, you can even watch the waves roll in across the street. The sizable Coffee Table is ideal for playing one of the various games or assembling a puzzle.

Grab a beach read (numerous of local stories), a cup of coffee or a glass of wine & head downstairs to appreciate the comfortable & roomy Adirondack Chairs, Rocker or curl up on the Bench. Imagine yourself as a character in your book as you smell the salt air & feel the gentle winds off the sea. Have a friendly competition for the best chess or checkers player at the picnic table. After a delicious dinner, gather on the bottom level to watch your favorite movie using the Roku projector on the screened wall. This is definitely a unique feature of this bungalow!

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Southport rental experience:

Finding the best rental value:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Reserve your Southport rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of 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? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local Southport visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guides contain money saving offers on local shops and restaurants.

Planning and choosing the right Southport vacation home:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation week, and choose a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Dog Friendly w\/ Spectacular Ocean Views has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is commonly accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the property owner before you book the rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what configuration is best for your group.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or charges may be applied to your agreement.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking

More tips for your visit:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your .
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few concerns.
• Lock your rental while you are out and about. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• During check-in, document any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• On check-out day, take a final walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, remember to take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on great ratings to drive new reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
