Happy Honu (with a nod to the Hawaiian green sea turtle, known as a majestic link between man, land and sea), is a impressive five bedroom / 5.5 bath home located in Cape Fear Station. This reverse floor plan design includes three bedrooms downstairs: one roomy master bedroom with private bath and a king bed. The second downstairs bedroom consists of a queen bed as well as its own private bath. The third bedroom has a double and twin bunkbed with an additional pull-out queen bed and an attached bathroom. There is also a enormous relaxing deck on the main, lower level as well as a cavernous screened porch that can be accessed off both the queen and master bedrooms. Upstairs welcomes you into a huge great room; a spacious, very well supplied kitchen; dining room with seating for eight at the table and an additional five seats at the counter (including a highchair for little ones); a half bath and a sizable master suite with a king bed and its own private bathroom. The upper deck off the living room is one of the all-time favorite spots where guests can relax on the outdoor couch and seating area or dine at the welcoming table for eight. Appreciate this gorgeous, covered area with your family dinners or cup of early morning coffee.

Our top Rental property booking tips and tricks:

Money saving strategies:

• Summer time is high season in the Southport area. To get the largest vacation home for your budget, we recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular Southport attractions. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the 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 the beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your family qualifies for a discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Many property management companies supply Southport area travel guides which often include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Selecting the perfect rental home in the Southport area:

• To start, have your group agree to vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group needs. Welcome to Happy Honu has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available online. If you don't see them listed, call the property owner before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must book a property that allows animals. Request details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.

Additional considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Document any issues with the property at check in, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if there is a dispute.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a fantastic resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at departure. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a great stay? Many rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
