Looking for gasp-worthy panoramas of the shimmering Atlantic? This four-bedroom, 4.5 bath Dudley Parker-constructed Executive getaway is perched up a wooded, winding drive-emerging above Bald Head's High Dune treetops to reveal spectacular seascapes. This home's first level offers very private front and side porches and, inside, its entryway warmly welcomes. Off of the entryway are three suites-each including its own full, private bath with granite counters and tiled showers. The first two-a King and a Queen-are light-filled rooms with generous closets and storage. The third bedroom is furnished with two Twins and offers access to the front porch. Upstairs, a vaulted-ceiling open floor plan makes the most of its walls of windows by highlighting ocean panoramas extending from Frying Pan Shoals all the way down South Beach. The bright living space is anchored by a gas fireplace, features constructed-ins and extends egress to the home's piece-de-resistance-its deep, covered water-facing front and side porches. You'll spend contented hours here rocking while relishing shimmering seascapes and savoring snacks as well as salty breezes at the al fresco dining area. If inside meals are your preference, you'll still be surrounded by briny vistas at the generous, window-surrounded dining table. Nearby a granite breakfast bar offers even more seating. The gourmet kitchen serves up stainless appliances, plenty of storage and counter space and both water and forested dune vistas. Down the hall, the King Owner's suite features additional sunlit water perspectives, its own access to the upper porch, a private office and an oversize ensuite bath with a his/her vanity, a water closet, and a enormous sea-glass pebble/tiled shower. This level also homes the laundry and a half bath. Conveniently located near the Island's center-close to both the beach and stores and providing access to WWP's 24/7 Property Manager Assistance Line-which means you can reach needed help even after hours or on weekends, this gem is an ideal BHI haven. The elevator is not for guest use at this property.

How to get the best Southport rental home experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking a rental in the Fall or Spring is an excellent way to save on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local Southport area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Planning and picking the right Southport vacation home:

• Select vacation dates and max budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family requires. Captain Tank's is a Grand 4BR\/4.5BA Dunes Ridge Getaway with Ocean Views! has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often available on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the property owner before reserving the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine what configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• If your group is traveling with pets, search for a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• Does your family require specific amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.

Advice for your stay:

• Add the owner's phone number to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent lots of concerns.
• Lock your rental home while you're out. Keep your property safe!
• Make a record of any issues with the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if a dispute is filed.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a terrific source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• When it's time to leave, complete a walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a terrific vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
