The space
Appreciate your morning coffee in the open living room and kitchen area that overlooks the humongous backyard. Rest under the umbrella and savor watching your friends and family poolside. At nighttime, Roast s’mores and relax by the fire pit underneath the twinkling stars.

Sneak off as needed to your own room and read a book from the little library. We have books for the entire family. When you are ready to mingle, grab a board game, backgammon or challenge your family or friends to a game of Cornhole in the backyard.

Each bedroom is equipped with pillow top beds, cotton sheets, cotton comforters or quilts and additional pillows and blankets. Each closet has a pop up desk if you need it for work, etc.

The bathroom is roomy and the shower area is huge with handicap bars. We have shampoo, conditioner, and soap. No need to pack any bathroom essentials. We have plenty of towels, wash clothes, lotion, and a hair dryer. Of course we provide toilet paper and nearly everything you need is in the cabinet should you forget something.
Guest access
The guests have access to the entire home. The garage is typically locked for storage, but if it is open, you are welcome to store items and use it as needed. It is too modest to hold a car.
Other things to note
The neighbors are so sweet so please speak to them if you see them! Please don’t park on the grass!

We exterminate and treat the inside and outside living area on a routine basis, but we have a giant backyard so you may see pests that our endemic to southeastern NC.

How to book the best vacation property experience:

Finding your perfect rental:

• Summertime is high season in the Southport area. Booking your vacation rental in Spring or Fall is a good way to save money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your group qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers often offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Many property management companies supply Southport area visitors guides which will include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Begin by selecting your potential vacation weeks and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Cozy Poolside Bungalow - Pool is open! has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rentals search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the host before reserving the property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to work out what is optimal for your vacation.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental home.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or charges may be applied to your agreement.

Tips to have a smooth stay:

• Add the owner's contact information to your phone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• During arrival, note any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers disrupting your life at home. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your vacation home while you're away. Protect your property!
• At departure, take a walk-through to make sure you didn't forget any personal items. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property a final time and scan for damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, remember to take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
