Let the Beachside Breeze caress your face as you sip your morning coffee on the private balcony at this elegant, modern condo. Located in the Palms at Long Bay condo complex, you’ll find one of the most private stretches of East Beach only a two-min. walk away while also appreciating painless walkability to shopping, dining, grocery stores, ice cream stores and more. No need to leave Fido behind as this rental accepts up to two dogs per reservation.

The roomy open-concept living area is designed with flexibility in mind. Savor a favorite show or movie on the huge flat screen TV from the enormous couch. A set of four ottomans provide storage and can act as additional seating or a handy surface for playing one of the supplied board games- or hand of Texas Hold Em utilizing the available cards and poker chips.

For those who may still have work or school responsibilities during their stay, a desk tucked into the corner provides a convenient work-space. The sturdy dining table is arranged for four, with room to pull up two more chairs and an additional four seats at the adjacent breakfast bar. A card table and four folding chairs are also included if more seating is needed.

The kitchen features gleaming wood cabinets and quartz countertops. The glass-top stove makes for simple clean-up after cooking, and this space is completely outfitted with everything you need to prepare favorite family meals or the catch of the day. Just across from the kitchen is the laundry closet, equipped with a full-sized washer and dryer conveniently located in the center of the action to help ensure you don’t forget to turn that load of wet beach towels over before heading to bed.

Each of the three bedrooms is equipped with its own flat screen TV, so you’ll never have to argue about what to watch before bed at the end of a long day filled with adventure! The primary bedroom is located just off the living room and provides a king bed as well as a standard futon for calming or additional sleeping space as needed. In addition to a private bathroom with a standard tub/shower combo, this suite features direct access to the unit’s balcony overlooking the pool.

The additional two bedrooms share access to a hall bath beside the laundry closet. This bathroom also features a standard tub/shower combo along with a handheld shower head, an nearly essential tool for rinsing all the sand off of little ones after a day on the beach! Down the hall from the shared bath, you’ll find each bedroom equipped with a twin bed and a queen bed. One room features a bean bag chair that every kid and kid-at-heart will appreciate to flop down onto!

Your private covered balcony overlooks the condo complex’s pool deck below. Complete with outdoor seating, this space is close enough to the ocean that you can hear the crash of the surf and smell the salt in the air. You’ll notice there’s no shortage of the Beachside Breeze this condo is named for! In addition to the seasonal pool and soaking tubs, community amenities include an outdoor shower station and elevators.

When you’re ready to hit the sand, use the included beach cart to haul your gear with ease. Beach chairs and toys are also supplied for your convenience. A short walk along SE 59th Street at the back of the complex provides a fast and easy path to the beach. Because this public access point does not have any parking spaces, it is relatively secluded. To the east, you’ll find one of the most private sections of East Beach thanks to a numerous block stretch of undeveloped scrubland along the dune-line and public access points with limited parking spaces.

In the evenings, walk to eateries like local favorite Thai and Vine, beach stores, an arcade, candy store, ice cream stores and more. And if you'd rather craft the ideal appetizers and beverage to savor on the beach yourself, Food Lion and the ABC Store are each less than a half mile away. This charming location really does provide the best of both worlds!

Ensure that your next family vacation is a Beachside Breeze and book your stay today!

The Palms pool area also contains one non-heated soaking tub and one heated soaking tub. Neither tub has jets. The pool area is open annually from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Specific condo communities may keep the pool open past Labor Day depending on the homeowner's association's recommendation.

Strategies for getting the perfect Oak Island vacation home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Book your Southport vacation home in Spring or Fall to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Booking your rental six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property management companies frequently offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitor guides which include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are out, just like you would back home.
