(3 queen rooms and 1 bunk room with 2 sets of twin-over-twin bunk beds), each room has their own intelligent TV. Ideal for families or a few couples! The kitchen is open to the great room. All furnishings has been newly upgraded, along with decor and linens. There are 2 outdoor showers, one enclosed/private in the backyard and the other in front yard to rinse off before going in the home. There is a “crow’s nest” top deck where you can appreciate sunrise and sunset vistas of the inter-coastal and ocean! The kitchen is completely equipped with all kitchen essentials. There is a laundry room w/washer & dryer and a grille on-site.

Note, there are exterior security cameras at front & rear entrance into the home, as well as garage/carport area. There are no cameras in the interior of the home. They are stringently used for security at entrances and fire/damage protection while home is unoccupied.

In peak season, mid-June through mid-August, we require a 7-day minimum stay that goes from Sun-Sun. We made this change to ensure our cleaning crew has time to do a thorough clean & launder the linens. Saturdays in beach towns, the cleaning crews are spread very thin with little time to clean. In addition to having a very clean home, another renter benefit is you won’t experience the intense check-in/check-out traffic on Saturdays. ????

*Note, if bringing a pet(s), you must include them in your reservation when booking. In addition, to help us prepare for your visit; please select the actual number of adults & kids in your guest count.

Strategies for getting the best vacation home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Summer months are high season in Ocean Isle Beach. To find the best value, try changing your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer great weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. 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, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides have offers and deals for local shops and restaurants.
