The Carolina Beach Lake and Brandy Myers Playground is across the street and the Carolina Beach Boardwalk is roughly a 6-min. walk. Every Thursday nighttime during the summer there is a fireworks display on the boardwalk, the best part about this is there is no fighting of the hordes for you, you can just pull up a chair on our ocean side patio and watch in comfort. The amusement park portion of the boardwalk is open Memorial Day through Labor Day every year.

The Veggie Wagon is a 3-min. walk, where you can grab all kinds of local fare, like take and bake meals, hard ciders/beers/wine, baked goods. The blood orange cider is my personal favorite. Coffee lovers don't fear for Majik Beans is just a short walk past the Hang Ten restaurant, on the walk you'll also pass Kate's Pancake home, where you should definitely try the Banana Nut French toast. For burritos as big as your head, lol, check out Flaming Amy's Burrito Barn, delicious! Last but not least on our favorite's list is Britt's Donuts, which is open seasonally on the Boardwalk. They're so good that they announce their re-opening every year on the local news!

We have an onsite designated parking spot for our unit, so you don't have to concern yourself with parking access or costs. Our home is entirely furnished but we do not supply linens.

Tips and Tricks to get the very best vacation property experience:

Find your perfect rental home:

• In the Southport area, The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are booked very early. Reserving your rental six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Summer is the most expensive season in the Southport area. Booking your Southport vacation home in the Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter 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 your favorite beach.

• Property managers usually offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
