Feel the ultimate in relaxation as you allow yourself to drift with the proverbial tides and sway with the swells of the sea during a stay at Jellyfish Cottage. Boasting a unique two-wing floor plan with ocean vistas and decorated in shades of sand and sea grass, bohemian textures and understated nautical elements throughout the home combine with a sense of whimsy and invite you to slow down, linger and discover.

Enter from the partially covered deck into the bright and welcoming living room. A pair of chairs and a plush couch beckon with their abundance of throw pillows and woven blankets. Gather together to watch a favorite movie on the wall-mounted intelligent TV, or watch the sun glisten on the waves instead. When it's time to retire for the nighttime, the couch converts to a twin bed if additional sleeping space is needed.

The sturdy oval dining table seats six guests, with space for an additional four available at the close by breakfast bar. The gleaming white kitchen is outfitted with everything you need to prepare meals together during your stay, and the under-cabinet lighting along with plenty of counterspace for preparation and storage help you feel right at home. Gaze out the window and watch pelicans and gulls swoop into the sea or watch for dolphins playing as you rinse local produce in the sink. Pendulum lights in the kitchen reminiscent of a jellyfish's bell and a seashell chandelier over the dining table provide the ideal finishing touches to this space.

You'll also find the master suite in the south wing, furnished with a king bed and sizable wall-mounted intelligent TV. The classic iron bedstand, comfortable throw blankets and fluffy bed linens entice you to grab a book from the close by dresser and settle in. The en suite bathroom features his and hers sinks and a standard tub/shower combo with a sliding glass door.

Between the south and north wings of the home you'll discover a enchanting partially covered porch, certain to become the center of your vacation memories. Savor a meal al fresco here as you're cooled by the ocean breeze at the outdoor dining table seating six. There's plenty of space for kids or dogs to romp and burn off energy as the family gets ready to hit the beach - this home accepts up to two dogs per stay. The laundry closet is located here as well, filled with a stackable washer and dryer and conveniently available whenever you need it without disturbing other group members.

In the north wing of the home, you'll find a short hallway connecting two bedrooms and a full bathroom with a standard tub/shower combo with a sliding glass door. Both bedrooms provide wall-mounted intelligent TVs for personal entertainment. The first room is furnished with two double beds and the second bedroom offers two twin beds. Coordinating linens and furnishings throughout the space adds to the resort-like feel, and the separation of the wings accepts you to comfortably settle little ones to bed while the adults continue to appreciate their evening.

Downstairs, the cavernous enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water is a lifesaver when it comes time to rinse sand off of babies and fur-babies after a long day at the beach. Speaking of the beach, a walk of less than 400 feet takes you from your doorstep to the sand via the public beach access point. Thanks to the well-established vegetation on the dunes to your west and a narrowing of the island that means fewer homes, you'll set up on one of the most private stretches of Oak Island's West Beach. Soak in the serenity of nature and let your cares drift away by booking a vacation at Jellyfish Cottage today!

Rental home booking tips:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

• Summertime is high season in the Southport area. To get the most suitable rental home for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at popular Southport attractions and restaurants. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book 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 management company or host whether your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitors guide magazines which will include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Selecting the perfect rental:

• First, have your family commit to trip dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Jellyfish Cottage: Dog-Friendly Boho Elegance with Ocean Views has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is commonly available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the property manager before booking the property. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• If there's an individual Southport beach you are crazy about, search for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• Remember to include your furry companions! 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 agreement! Extra fees or could be applied to your invoice.

More considerations for your visit:

• Add the property manager's information to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Upon check-in, record any issues with the property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors bothering your home life. Employ the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a fantastic time? Most rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
