You know you want to be "Out of Office"! Recently refreshed canal front beach bungalow on Sunset Beach Island, one of National Geographic's World's Most Charming Beaches. We make it simple to leave your worries behind. Pack your bathing suit, a good book and hit the road.

You have the best of both worlds at Sunset Beach! Leave your car in the driveway. Spend your time exploring the island on foot or two wheels, exploring the wide beach, visiting the Kindred Spirit mailbox, shopping the local artisan street market on Monday mornings (in season) or grabbing a Sunset Slush. Take a fast trip over the bridge to Calabash, "Seafood Capital of the World", to try the one of the many calabash style seafood eateries and walk the boardwalk.

Jump in the car for a 30 min. ride to North Myrtle Beach for shopping at Barefoot Landing, an Alligator Adventure, a wine tasting at the Duplin Winery, and a game of mini golf at Hawaiian Rumble.

Rental property booking tips:

Sticking to your spending plan:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Southport area. Book your rental property in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your family.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guides contain offers and deals for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Choosing the best vacation home:

• Select vacation week and maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Freshly updated canal front on one of Nat Geo's best beaches has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is almost always available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the property owner before booking your home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish what bed configuration is best for your vacation group.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or costs might be applied to your invoice.

Advice for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Add a note with the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• To make certain that damages are not linked to your visit, inspect the property for any problem areas upon check in. Make contact with the rental manager right away to record any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let burglars ruin your vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a fantastic time? Most rental managers make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
