A quintessential coastal hideaway awaits at this three-bedroom home in Sunset Beach, where you'll be just around the corner from the beach itself, the handsome Atlantic Ocean, and the town fishing pier.

With the beach only a quarter-mile down the road, this cheerful home is a place to spend your days swimming, body boarding, fishing, and collecting seashells on the sand. A number of eateries, cafes, stores, and amenities are just across the Intracoastal Waterway less than a mile north.

Stroll home from the beach in the afternoon to be greeted by sunny yellow shutters, a shaded patio beneath the home, and a enchanting back deck where you can soak up a bit more sun, play cards, or gather for an alfresco meal in the shade of the umbrella. The adjacent screened porch is a ideal spot for morning coffee, afternoon crossword puzzles, and drinks at sunset.

Inside, find a centrally air-conditioned living space with lofty ceilings, comfortable furnishings, and the colors of the beach running throughout. This is a natural gathering space whether you're cooking in the well-equipped kitchen, sharing appetizers at the breakfast bar and high-top dining table, or watching after-dinner movies on Netflix, cable, or the DVD player in the living room. Additional features include three colorful bedrooms and complimentary WiFi throughout the home.

Tips and Tricks to get the best Sunset Beach vacation rental experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a Southport rental home:

Summer time is high season in the Southport area. To find the best value, shift your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warm temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
Owners sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
Property management companies often offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
Many property management companies supply Southport area travel guides which include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Selecting and booking a perfect Southport vacation home:

To start, have your group select a vacation week and a maximum budget.
Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Dog-friendly home 1 block from the beach with great deck, patio & central AC has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible online. Otherwise, call the host before booking the property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
Are you looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking
Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or could be applied to your invoice.

Have a great stay:

Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your phone.
To make certain that damages aren't linked to your visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas during check in. Call the rental manager immediately to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents a lot of difficulties.
Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent resource to find the best local beaches.
Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would back home.
On check-out day, take a final walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on great feedback to inspire future bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
