Feeling down? Some quality time with family and friends at this classic beach bungalow is just the Remedy you're looking for! Nap in the hammock as the ocean breeze sweeps over you, gather on the covered porch for peaceful conversation as you watch the rolling waves or walk across the street to comb the sand for sea-borne treasures.

An eye-catching tile backsplash and bright white cabinetry welcome guests into the kitchen, where two barstools at the center island allow you to keep the family chef company as they prepare meals. Entirely supplied with serving and cookware, you'll find everything you need to serve up simple family favorites or prepare the fresh catch of the day. The open-concept design flows into the dining area, where the glass top tale seats six comfortably. In the living room, a couch, appreciate seat and pair of armchairs provides plenty of space to gather together to watch a favorite movie on the enormous TV or gaze at the sea as you watch pelicans and gulls swoop for their next meal.

To the east, two bedrooms with queen beds share hall access to a full bathroom with a standard tub/shower combo. The oceanfront bedroom on this side also provides an armchair and a TV for personal entertainment. On the west side of the home, the oceanfront king bedroom connects to the bunkroom via a Jack and Jill bath with a double vanity. The bunkroom is furnished with a twin-over-twin bunk bed and a futon that provides the ideal additional hang out space. (Please note that the top bunk is rated for a max. weight of 120 lbs.) Each of these bedrooms provides a TV as well.

The covered front porch is furnished with a pair of wooden Adirondack chairs as well as a pair of higher Captain's chairs that really let you drink in the view. Underneath the shade of the home, a circle of classic wooden rockers beckons you to sit together and savor the sea breeze, while the classic wooden picnic table is the ideal spot to dine outdoors. The enclosed outdoor shower makes rinsing off after a day on the beach simple, and when it is time to hit the beach, less than 400 feet takes you to Oak Island's famed white sands via the 13th Place West Beach Access. For those with mobility concerns, the accessible access at 10th Place West is still less than 800 feet from your doorstep!

Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect Southport vacation home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Southport area. Booking your vacation rental in the Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation 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 near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• 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 fuel stations. In addition to great information, travel guides contain discounts for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Select dates and max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Remedy: Updated Carolina Cottage with Ocean Views has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the property manager before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking
• If your family is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

Have a wonderful stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your smartphone.
• Upon arrival, record any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a great source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would back home.
• On check-out day, take a final walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a wonderful stay? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
