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 supplied 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 enormous 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. Appreciate 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 effortlessly 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!

Strategies to get the perfect Southport rental home experience:

Sticking to your spending budget:

• Summer is the most expensive season in the Southport area. To find the best value, try shifting your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer great weather, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Owners sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area travel guide magazines which will include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select a group leader, select your vacation dates, and select a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Jellyfish Cottage: Dog-Friendly Boho Elegance with Ocean Views has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible on booking pages. If not, email or call the property manager before you reserve your rental. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to establish what bed configuration is best for your vacation family.
• If there's a certain Southport attraction you are crazy about, look for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking
• Some rentals allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property manager about pets before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

• Put the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make certain that damages aren't linked to your family's visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon check in. Make contact with the rental manager right away to report your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let crooks spoil your family vacation.
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager is not available, remember to take video of the property to record its condition.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on good reviews to compel more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
