Remodeled in Janaury 2025!

Our home is set back from the road, but snuggled into the dunes for private oceanfront access! Everyone can drive separately: there's plenty of private parking on the grass front lawn with no restrictions, which is rare in Carolina Beach. Bring all your fishing poles and go for the gusto every day in the waves: there's a roomy covered storage garage for all your gear, surfboards, and kayaks, along with an outdoor shower. This is the ideal home for three to six fishermen on a budget who want to stay oceanfront! Savor coffee on your bedroom sundeck in the morning, and come up from the beach for a shade break on your living room porch whenever you want! You'll meet a lot of new friends and appreciate live music at the Ocean Grille and Tiki Bar, only four homes down the sand.

As one of North Carolina's most undeveloped beaches, the island offers a unique opportunity to see many diverse coastal wildlife, including pelicans and loggerhead sea turtles, in their natural habitat. Whether it’s exploring activities on the island, appreciating the ocean vistas, or enjoying a drink by sunset from your own private balcony, Pleasure Island offers diversion for every enthusiast!

One of the last remaining beach boardwalks on the East Coast, it includes a variety of eateries, an arcade, stores, ice cream, Famous Britts Donuts, bars, and more! During the summer months, the Boardwalk is bustling with the sound of music, carnival rides, bingo, family nights, and events like the weekly fireworks and concert series. Rent a Jeep, bicycle, or golf cart as the most convenient ways to navigate the island.

Our top Vacation rental home tips:

When to book a Southport rental & When to go:

The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are reserved early. Booking your vacation rental up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Book your vacation in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
Some hosts and property managers offer promotional rates for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
Property managers typically offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
Many property management companies supply Southport area travel guides which often include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Choosing the best rental home:

Start by having your group agree to the best dates and a budget.
Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Economical oceanfront fishing shack with private beach access. has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property manager before you reserve your home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or costs may be applied to your contract.
If there's an individual Southport beach you simply love, keep an eye out for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking

More tips for your stay:

Take a copy of the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let burglars spoil your family vacation.
To make sure no damages are linked to your family's visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas during check in. message the property manager immediately to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent resource to find the best local attractions.
Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms 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 group have a excellent stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
