You can even let Fido romp around the fenced backyard, as this vacation rental accepts one dog weighing up to 50 lbs per stay.

Enter into a bright and welcoming open-concept living space, complete with the whimsical touches and eye-catching art you’ll find throughout the home. Gather together to savor a movie on the wall-mounted TV, which swivels if needed, or bask in the glow of the electric fireplace for peaceful conversation instead. All bedrooms in the home also include a TV for personal entertainment. The modern kitchen supplies all the appliances and cookware you need for preparing fresh local seafood or a favorite recipe from home. A sturdy dining table with bench seating along one side will hold six to eight adults comfortably, and an additional three barstools are available at the close by breakfast bar.

When it’s time to retire for the nighttime, you’ll find two master suites, each with its own private bathroom furnished with a tiled walk in shower. The first master suite overlooks the pool and features a king bed and walk in closet, while the second suite provides a queen bed. An additional guest room with a double bed shares hall access to a full bath with the final sleeping space, the bunkroom. With two twin-over-twin bunk beds and quirky locker storage, kids will adore all the fun pops of color.

Outside, listen to the waves as you sip your morning coffee from the covered front deck, complete with a variety of chairs and end tables, or keep a watchful eye on activity in the pool below from the outdoor couch on the back covered deck. On the ground level, your private pool getaway beckons. Lush tropical landscaping helps you feel secluded from the world beyond. Play a fast round of the unique pink flamingo ring toss game, lounge around the pool and soak in the rays or relax around the firepit with S’mores and stories. Appreciate a meal al fresco at the outdoor table and take advantage of the oh-so-Instagram-able bespoke mural as a backdrop with a quick shot of your culinary adventures!

Bringing your fur-infant along? Please note that dogs are not allowed in the pool and should not be left unattended in the fenced backyard, as all grassy areas there are artificial turf. A pet walking area is located in the front of the home, as well as pet waste elimination bags in a dispenser to make cleaning up after your pooch a breeze.

When you’re ready to head to the beach, you’ll find beach chairs, umbrellas and toys available for your use. You can even rent the optional golf cart supplied by the property, complete with a parking pass, for an additional $400 per week to keep the sand out of your own car. Plus, supplied bicycles make exploring the island simple, and when you’re ready to embark on an off-island adventure or two (whether heading into Southport to walk along the historic downtown and Cape Fear River or into Wilmington for attractions like Battleship North Carolina), you’ll appreciate the convenience of this location to the Middleton Bridge.

Strategies for getting the best vacation rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. Reserve your Southport rental home in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter 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 your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local Southport visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.
