Pack your belongings and head out to the charming west side of the island, where you'll be charmed by this beach home! Don't forget Fido - A Fair Wind accepts up to one dog per reservation.

Walking into this home, you'll feel instantly welcomed by this open-concept living space. The main room has plenty of seating surrounding a huge T.V.. (Please note that the pictured fireplace is not available for guest use.) Watch a movie or play games on the couch, perhaps even read a book during a calming evening on the recliner. To the left, there are double doors leading out to the porch, where you can savor the salt air and breeze in your hair. This porch has five seats for sunbathing and a place to kick up your feet and relax as you watch the waves.

Walk into the kitchen on granite tile floors and appreciate a meal with family on the kitchen island, which also serves as the dining table. It seats up to ten members of your family, with four barstools. The kitchen is equipped with cooking basics so you can enjoy a home-cooked meal with the ocean in view. A Keurig is supplied to make your coffee as swiftly as possible before you miss the sunrise, and a crock pot to have your dinner simmering by the time you make it back from the beach. There is an outdoor shower to rinse off with, and a washer and dryer, so your breeches don't stay sandy!

There are four bedrooms, and two have king beds with en-suite bathrooms. The other two rooms come with queen beds and share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. Each bedroom contains a TV for your entertainment.

A two-min. walk from the beach, and only a short drive everywhere else! Three-min. drive to the Lonerider brewpub, and a five-min. drive to The Point. Appreciate the west end at its best by booking here at A Fair Wind!

Our top Southport rental home booking tips and tricks:

How to get the best rental home value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To find the largest rental home within your budget, we suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular Southport attractions. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitors guide magazines that include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your dates, and select a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group requires. A Fair Wind: Second-Row Beach House With a Porch Perfect for Sunbathing has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is regularly available on booking pages. Otherwise, email or call the host before you book the rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
• Visiting for a specific event or attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or charges could be applied to your agreement.

Have a wonderful stay:

• Add the property manager's information to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To make certain that damages are not linked to your stay, make note of any problem areas upon your arrival. message the host immediately to record any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, elevator or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent lots of issues.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let thieves spoil your family vacation.
• Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on great ratings to inspire new reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
