The best beach vacations are spent on Southern Horizons! Let your cares drift away as you float in the elevated ocean-facing pool, appreciate your morning coffee as you watch the waves from the private covered porch off the master suite, or walk along the shore to search for seaborne treasures via the beach access path right across the street.

The bright and airy living room includes cathedral ceilings that create a roomy and welcoming ambiance. Cuddle up on the couches to watch the big game on the Roku TV as you savor the sound of waves crashing in the distance. The wooden dining table is set for six, with an additional four seats at the available breakfast bar. Tucked just around the corner, the kitchen is equipped with everything you need to prepare dinner for your crew or to get the day started on the right foot- a tea kettle, traditional drip coffee makers and a Keurig-style machine are all supplied. A half bath is also available off the common spaces for convenience, and a laundry closet homes a full-size washer and dryer for use during your stay.

The first of two master suites is also located on this level, furnished with a queen bed and a TV for personal entertainment. The attached private bathroom contains a standard tub/shower combo. All other bedrooms are on the second floor, and each also contains a private TV so there’s no need to fight over the remote in the evening! The second master suite provides a king bed and private standard bathroom, along with direct access to a private ocean-facing covered porch where you’re sure to find yourself spending at least a few moments at the start and end of each day. The final two bedrooms are each furnished with a double bed and a twin-over-double bunk bed and are connected by a Jack and Jill bathroom.

Outside, the front porch provides both covered and shaded areas. Appreciate peaceful conversation as you sway on classic rocking chairs or gather around the Polywood picnic table to enjoy a low country boil pot under the Carolina blue skies as sea breezes tease your hair. You can even catch some rays on the poolside loungers as the kids cool down in the pool without any waves to contend with. Underneath the home, an additional picnic table, rocking chairs and even a porch swing offer an additional shady respite. An enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water makes rinsing sand off after a trip to the beach simple, and if you prefer to prepare out, a charcoal grille is supplied. There’s plenty of parking available in the driveaway, including covered spaces. Gather your crew and embark on an adventure to Southern Horizons today!

Strategies for getting the perfect vacation rental experience:

How to get the best value:

• Summer time is high season in the Southport area. Booking your vacation home in Fall or Spring months is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• The earlier your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved very early. Reserving your rental home 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area travel guide magazines which include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning and choosing your prefect Southport rental home:

• Select a group lead, select your vacation week, and choose a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Southern Horizons: Elevated Pool, Ocean Views, Near Beach Access has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rentals search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the property manager before reserving the rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You'll need to work out which bed configuration is right for your vacation.
• Does your group require special amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly rental. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property owners charge additional pet fees.

Tips for a great stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone.
• To make sure that damages aren't linked to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas during check in. Contact the rental manager immediately to record any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of problems.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
