We also have a pool!

We are on the 3rd row back from the beach and about a 2-3 min. walk to a public beach access on 26th.

House sleeps 10 with a king and a queen bed on the main level, and a queen, two twins and a queen sleeper couch on the 2nd level.

Conveniences include washer/dryer, WiFi, streaming TV with movie channels, stereo system, gas grille, private pool. We also have installed an elevator from the ground floor to the first floor.

There are two outside Blink cameras. One is on the front porch facing the front door. The second is under the screened porch facing out under the home and toward the street. The cameras are turned ON during rental season ONLY between 10 am and 4 pm on Saturdays, check in day. This accepts us to let the property manager know when guests are gone so that the home can be cleaned for the next guests. The cameras are turned OFF after 4 pm on Saturdays and remain OFF during your stay. They remain ON at all times in the off season.

Although we have the off season blocked off for personal use, we would consider renting the home during that time if we are not going to be there. We try to get there as often as we can, and sometimes we don't know until a few days before. But e-mail us if you are considering a last min. fall, winter or spring hideaway to the beach! The home may be available! We will not rent too far in advance, but it's worth a try!

Strategies to get the optimal Southport vacation home experience:

When to visit Oak Island & When to book:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in Oak Island. To book the largest rental within your budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite Southport restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites often offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines contain deals for nearby tours and attractions.

Selecting and booking your Southport rental home:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your vacation dates, and choose a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Our Home Away From Home! Large home with private pool and elevator! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property owner before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's an individual Southport beach you long to visit, browse properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must book a pet-friendly property. Request details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.

Additional considerations:

• Add the property manager's information to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Upon arrival, document any damages to the property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many problems.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out and about. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Re-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, remember to take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a excellent vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
