New home constructed in Oct 2021! On a peaceful, residential street, never worry about being surrounded by event-goers. The streets safe for bicycle riding and walking, far enough away from the center of town, but close enough to be a 10-min drive to the amenities. Drive (2-3 min) or walk (10-15min) to the quietest part of the beach where you can see both the splendid sunrises and the striking sunsets. The home is supplied with all basic conveniences down to the bath towels, bed linens, cleaning supplies, paper products and even condiments in the refrigerator. Open, cavernous floor plan, comfortable living area, and cozy bedrooms for your time away from the beach. Puzzles, books, games, wi-fi, and TV's in every bedroom for your entertainment. Even a cute little "leave a book, take a book" box on the walk to the beach.

Bedroom 1, the master, includes a King bed and double vanity, with a double head shower bigger than you can imagine!
Bedroom 2, with a Queen bed includes a dresser to unpack all those clothes and feel like you actually live there rather than living out of a suitcase.
Bedroom 3, with 2 double beds accepts for those who like to share a room sleep-over style.

Bathrooms: both contain towels, basic soaps/shampoos and select toiletries in case you forget what you need, or simply to lighten your load when packing. The master includes a HUGE shower with two shower heads!

The front porch and the back screened-in porch make for great conversation, book reading, appreciating drinks or just winding down.

Below the home, aside from plenty of parking, there is a gas grille, a Blackstone flat top griddle, and an electric smoker available for responsible use. There is also an outdoor shower for rinsing off all that additional beach sand.

Tips and Tricks to get the best Oak Island vacation home experience:

When to go & When to reserve a rental home:

• Summer is the most expensive season in the Southport area. To book the largest vacation home within your budget, we recommend reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at Southport restaurants, beaches, and activities. 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 the beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Look for 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 visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides have discounts for nearby tours and attractions.

Planning, picking, and booking the perfect Southport vacation home:

• To start, have your group decide on dates and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family requires. A Shore Escape - new to rental market! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is often accessible online. Otherwise, email the property manager before you reserve the property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's a particular Southport beach you are enamored with, look for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or may be applied to your contract.

Additional considerations:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your family's visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas during arrival. Get in touch with the rental manager right away to record any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your vacation home while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• At departure, complete a walk-through to make sure you have not forget any personal items. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on great ratings to stimulate new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
