About this Property

• Sleeps 9
• 4 Bedrooms
• 2 Bathrooms
• Private vacation home

Summary:
The first story of a three story structure, this 3 bed 2 bath home is light, modern and airy.

Hosted by Abundance Vacation Units, staying here is a dream: beachfront vistas and access to the shore by our structure’s private boardwalk with foot hose, outdoor shower and benches.

You will have the ocean out front and the lake with farmers market, paddle boats and playground out back.

We even have a kid’s play home swing and slide on the sand.

The Space:
You have full use of the first floor home. It is completely self contained. There is another unit that occupies the upper two floors, and they will share the parking below the home and the boardwalk out to the ocean.

Guest Access:
You have full access to the first floor home and porch. There is a enchanting kid’s play area on the sand below the boardwalk with slide, swing and clubhouse. That is available to everybody in the home. There are full laundry facilities inside the home. You may also store your boards, bicycles and beach chairs below the home in the carport.

The Neighborhood:
We are walking distance to just about everything on the island — a big fireworks display can be seen every Thursday nighttime right from the deck!
There is a weekly craft and farmers market as well as outdoor family movie projections, bingo nights outdoors at the boardwalk, live music... and so much more available by a short walk down the beach.

A brand new play structure has been installed by the lake which is a short walk and viewable from the back windows.

There are private surf and paddle board lessons as well as week long camps also just a short walk down the sand. We are so ideally located, but without the heavy hordes of the hotels.

You can also walk or bicycle to eateries and coffee stores.

We try to keep our calendar refreshed, but Airbnb only lets us work with exactly 365 days at a time. So if you are booking far in advance, please keep in mind that for the middle of summer there may be a seven day limit and Saturday check in and check out will still apply — just send me a fast note and I’ll get back to you.

Other Things to Note:
We also supply the following for each property:
A starter kit of one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, one roll of paper towels, a trash bag, and dish soap. We also supply laundered bed linens, comforters, and 1 bathing towel and wash cloth per person. We do not supply any beach gear or beach towel. We have great rental companies on the island we would be more than happy to share the info with you. We also do not supply laundry detergent, body soap or shampoo/conditioner as we find everybody has their own preferences for these =) Please review our home rules prior to your stay

Strategies to get the best Southport vacation home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Summer is high season in the Southport area. To find the largest vacation home within budget, we recommend booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation 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 vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Many property management companies supply Southport area travel guides which include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Choosing and booking your Southport vacation home:

• Begin by choosing a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Abundance in the Sand: one story, modern and clean has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available on booking websites. Otherwise, call the property owner before booking the property. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You will need to establish what configuration is right for your vacation group.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• 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. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or costs applied to your invoice.

During your stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• Document any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if a dispute arises.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Protect your property!
• When it's time to leave, complete a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on good feedback to propel more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
