Appreciate Winds is kept fresh by changing out furnishings every couple of years. We also change the pillows after each season as well as bedspreads. Sometimes the photos don't reflect those changes and so making it simple to see that we do as we say.If fresh and clean is important to you then you have found the right place to stay.
In a straight line the home is a half of a mile from beach.
If you want to walk to the beach take the breathtaking walkway at the end of our street. The nature trail starts out going over a bridge "Little Davies canal", through the woods then a boardwalk over the marsh, you will come to a street and should be able to see the ocean at that point, the walk takes about 15 - 20 mins..
You can shorten the walk by parking at the recreation center and walking from there, it cuts the walk time by half.
Take a fishing rod and fish off the boardwalk on your way back from the beach for a fresh dinner.
If you have tons to carry then it's a 2 min. drive to the many access points you can park ,some are just yards from the beach next to the homes on the beach.

After a long day at the beach appreciate the shade of the handsome oak trees surrounding the home and untouched wooded tons next door. Sit in the screened in deck and watch the modest wild life frolic in the yard. In the evening sit at the fire pit next to the home.
Take a charming evening walk to the beach down our street and through the nature trail. Find your inner kid and discover the tree home or bring a fishing poll and fish off the boardwalk.Then continue your walk down to the beach.

There is a huge 52' flat screen TV in main living room, master bedroom and one upstairs, DVD players, Roku, CD/ipod player, board games, books, videos, puzzles, deck, screened porch. Washer and dryer in laundry room. We humbly ask that you help us keep the home clean and gorgeous.

Strategies for getting the best Southport rental experience:

When to go & When to book:

• The sooner you can book, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved very early. Booking your rental property six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Book your rental in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local Southport area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guides have deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Choosing the best vacation home in Oak Island:

• Choose your vacation dates and spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Clean ~ beautiful setting ~ scenic walk or ride your bikes to the beach has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the host before booking the vacation home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You will need to establish what configuration is optimal for your trip.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the owner about your furry family members before booking.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.

Tips for a wonderful stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are away, just like you would back home.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your visit, make note of any problem areas when you arrive. Make contact with the rental manager immediately to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors bothering your peaceful home life. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed everything on check-out day. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a excellent stay? Many rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
