Ensure a magically Sunkissed vacation with a stay at this classic and comfortable bungalow located less than 700 feet from the sand. Dine al fresco on the screened in porch or the shaded area underneath the home and take in vistas of the ocean from the upper deck.

The open concept living area features a wall-mounted HD flat screen TV so that your family can gather to appreciate the big game or a favorite movie. The dining table seats six, with seating for four more available at the adjoining breakfast bar. The kitchen is entirely outfitted with everything you need to prepare and serve favorite family recipes or fresh local seafood to your crew.

Just off the living area is a standard full bathroom, which also homes a stackable washer and dryer. The first bedroom is also located on this level, featuring a double bed and two twin beds. There is a wall-mounted flat screen TV available for personal entertainment. Upstairs, there are two more bedrooms, each with its own TV, ocean vistas and direct access to the upper level deck. One room is furnished with a queen bed and the other contains two twins. An additional full bathroom with a standard tub/shower combo is located upstairs.

Off the kitchen, the screened-in porch contains a table for dining and a ceiling fan for those days when the sea breeze isn’t rather enough to keep you cool. The wooden ramp provides direct access to the screened porch from the driveway. There’s an enclosed shower with hot and cold water located under the home as well, ideal for rinsing off the sand when you return home from the beach, as well as a hose for cleaning off toys and equipment. A picnic table on this level provides a cool and shady additional dining spot.

When you’re ready to hit the sand, simply turn left and a fast two-min. walk down the road takes you to the closest public beach access. And if you’d rather dine out in the evenings rather than cooking in, turn right instead, where you’ll find numerous trendy eateries, including Shagger Jacks and Solar Brewing Company, within a 10-min. walk. No matter what your ideal beach vacation entails, you’ll find it here. Book your Sunkissed stay today!

Tips to get the very best Southport vacation home experience:

Getting the most from your vacation rental budget:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Southport area. Booking in Fall or Spring is a good way to save on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local Southport area magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides contain offers and deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Choose your vacation week and spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Sunkissed: Comfy Cottage with Ocean Views and Close Beach Access has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, call the property manager before you book the rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or costs applied to your contract.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Try a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .

Advice for a terrific stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many difficulties.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Upon arrival, record any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected everything. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a wonderful stay? Many rental managers make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
