Ideal for two blended families, or multiple couples, 1114 Bonito is only a short four block walk to the oceanfront waves of charming Carolina Beach.  Stroll to Ocean Grille and Tiki Bar or Granny's Country Kitchen within two mins.. For the walkers in your crew, you'll never need to move the cars! The famed Carolina Beach Boardwalk, with all its stores, bars, and eateries is a 1.2 mile walk. There will be plenty of oysters at The Shuckin Shack, and cold beers at the Fat Pelican along the way. Hang Ten Grille, the weekly Arts and Crafts festival on the lake, and farm fresh produce at the Veggie Wagon are all iconic spots along this walking trail. You are renting two duplexes side by side. There are 6 separate bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. Multiple schedules and activities can be flexible with two separate living rooms and kitchens, yet you can appreciate coffee chats and beverage conversations across the multilevel decks, make plans for a jaunt to the beach or meals together as a clan, or share an oyster roast all together in the yard!

Our top Carolina Beach vacation rental tips and tricks:

Get the best rental home value:

• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked early. Booking your vacation property six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Summer months are high season in the Southport area. To get the most suitable rental within budget, we highly recommend reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at Southport restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local Southport area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines have discounts for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

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

• Start by selecting your potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Affordable and Convenient - Walk to Beach - Dogs Allowed has 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property manager before booking your home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• Does your family require specific amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.

Tips to have a smooth stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Add a note with the instructions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let thieves spoil your trip.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas during check in. Call the rental manager immediately to record your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be respectful. Often, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a great vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
