Our family has been visiting Ocean Isle beach every summer for 30 years. It is really a special place, with handsome beaches, eateries options fit for families and foodies, a exceptional park and spray pad for the kids, daily fun events planned by the town for families (including concerts, movie events, scavenger hunts), fishing and water sports abound, a museum, and very close to Myrtle Beach for many other fun options. Don’t miss sunset slush and a family put-put outing (our kids favorite things!). Cheeky Tiki is designed and constructed for multi-generational use in mind, brand new for the 2023 summer season. We wanted to create an ocean getaway that supplied all of the elements we have looked for when selecting homes for our family each summer. Painless ocean access is vital for a calming day at the beach. We are diagonally across from Winnabow beach access. One of the least busy and widest stretches of Ocean Isle beach. Easily walk back for bathroom and lunch breaks or to grab a cool drink. It is impossible not to be casual while sitting on our multiple immense deck areas with tons of shade and ocean vistas from every direction. Appreciate lunch alfresco while taking in the impressive vistas.
Our home was created with comfort and fun in mind. Each bedroom has a dedicated bathroom for privacy, a huge intelligent TV, as well as comfortable linens and window coverings to create a peaceful, dark relaxing sleeping area. 2 sizable living rooms are available so you can separate your more animated home guest in one fun space (complete with 2 arcade games each with over 500 games, shuffle board, wet bar, huge intelligent tv and board/card games) while keeping the other space for a more relaxing adult environment (complete with tons of cozy seating, huge intelligent tv and electric fireplace).
We have designed our kitchen to make cooking for a enormous crowd painless. You will find double full size fridges/freezers to hold enough food and drinks for a crowd, plus double ice makers! Plenty of storage space for food in our walk in pantry. All the cooking silverware you need to make delicious meals for your family of up to 18. Our dining table sits 12 people comfortably and our bar area seats an additional 6 (with barstools with backs so you actually can put the kids in your group at the bar).
We want your time at Cheeky Tiki spent making memories you will never forget. And hope you will visit us again! We will provide recommendations for activities and eateries during your stay. We are always accessible for questions or issues that may arise . A sizable heated pool surrounded with seating can be appreciated by everybody. Also you will find a tiki bar with wet sink, bar stools and intelligent TV. It’s a ideal place to use our margarita maker to savor beverages by the pool. Also on the first floor is a comfortable outdoor covered seating area, a gas grille, outdoor shower, and covered hot tub. You will find in our secured locked first floor area outdoor games, pool floats, pool toys, and a wagon if needed to carry things over the beach.
As a family with young kids, we know what is important to parents when traveling with kids. Safety is important to us. All wet areas (pool and hot tub) are behind gates that are not conveniently opened by kids. Our elevator is up to code and inspected for safety with kids in mind (Although we require all elevator use with adults only and elevators can be locked to prohibit kids from playing). We have infant gates available if needed. We provide a pack n play as well as a folding crib (but bring your own sheets please). 2 high chairs as well as kid friendly dishes/silverware/cups supplied. You will also find games and some toys for those occasional rainy days. Good sleep is a necessity to really make your visit a vacation and not just a trip. The bunk room has been set up to provide a good nights sleep for a crowd of kids if needed. (4 full size beds as well as 2 twin trundles). This area also includes a nugget couch and other fort building supplies for hours of fun. Our kids most favorite summer activity is the week at the beach with their cousins. We want to provide that fun week for all the kids visiting Cheeky Tiki! In one of our master bedrooms, we have created a comfortable sleep space for a infant. The walk in closet is large enough to hold a pack n play or folding crib. It has a dedicated air vent as well as plugs for a monitor or sound machine if needed. No creeping around a dark room with a sleeping infant!
We want your time at Cheeky Tiki spent making memories you will never forget. And hope you will visit us again! We will provide recommendations for activities and eateries during your stay. We are always accessible for questions or issues that may arise .

Our top Southport vacation rental tips and tricks:

When to book & When to go:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the best value, consider changing your trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides contain money saving offers on local tours, shops, and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Select vacation week and spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Cheeky Tiki, New Build at Beach Access with Stunning Views + Heated Pool + Tiki Bar + Hot Tub + Game has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is almost always available online. If not, email or call the property manager before reserving the rental. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or charges could be applied to your agreement.
• If there's a certain Southport destination you crave, browse rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking

Considerations for your stay:

• Store the owner's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few issues.
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Note any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if there is a dispute.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors bothering your quiet neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• On check-out day, complete a walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to drive new bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
