Welcome to our home, which we’ve dubbed The Gaudy Pelican. Our uniquely bright orange home features opulent amenities, plenty of spaces to kick-back and relax, a private heated saltwater pool & hottub, and all just steps from the beach! This impressive complimentary-standing home offers 4 bedrooms and 3½ baths, ocean vistas, 6 wall-mounted intelligent TVs, an outdoor bar, two enormous decks, a shady lanai, kid’s space, office space, and much more. It’s also only a 1-min. walk to the beach and an painless walk along the beach to the Tiki Bar & Grille. The Gaudy Pelican cannot be matched for location, comfort, and amenities.

As you enter the main floor, you will find your welcome basket, filled with goodies just for you! The living room has vaulted ceilings, plenty of seating, a wall-mounted intelligent TV, and a propane fireplace for those cooler comfortable evenings. There’s even a full-sized pullout couch, just in case. There's a bar height counter and a pantry that features a wine refrigerator. The dining area has an upsized table, a bar table, and tons of windows.

You’ll also find a full bath and a private bedroom, “Tenta-cool”, with a king-sized bed, walk-in closet, window seat overlooking the pool, and a wall-mounted intelligent TV.

Down to the ground level you'll discover a cavernous bedroom/playroom, “Turtley Awesome”, featuring a wall mounted intelligent TV, bean bag chairs, toys & games, a triple bunk bed, a single bed, and a pullout couch. There’s plenty of room to play ping pong in the attached garage where you can also store all your beach gear. The garage is also equipped with a beach wagon, chairs, an umbrella, and towels for the beach. We’ve even supplied a few bicycles for getting around town on the many bicycle trails found in Carolina Beach.

Also on the ground floor is an over-sized washer and dryer, iron & ironing board, and drying racks. Less fun but very convenient!

On the second floor is the master bedroom suite, “Crab-ulous”, that has a king-sized bed, a private bathroom with a walk-in rain shower, dual sinks, a roomy walk-in closet, and its own access to the sundeck.

This floor also contains a second bedroom, “Fin-tastic”, with a king-sized bed, vistas overlooking the pool, and an alcove to read or just hide. The alcove couch is also a pullout bed.

All the way at the top, you’ll find an office set up for your convenience, with dual monitors, wireless keyboard, mouse and fast WiFi. We know it’s your vacation, but sometimes we all need to check in, read an e-mail, take a Zoom meeting, or at least appear to be working. It’s here if you need it. We suggest you don’t. Sit by the pool or wander to the beach. It’s so close!

Our top Rental booking tips:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are booked early. Booking your rental home six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To find the best value, consider shifting your vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer pleasant temperatures, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. 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.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your group qualifies for a discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Often, rental management companies supply Southport area travel guide magazines that include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible online. If you don't see them listed, contact the property owner before you reserve the rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If your group is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• To make certain damages aren't attributed to your stay, inspect the property for any problem areas upon check in. message the host immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a terrific resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Re-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on great ratings to propel future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
