Location! Location! Location! Welcome to our luxury beach home, North Star.

No need to pack up your supplies in the truck and worry about parking! Just step across the street and you are ready to see what great fishing the Atlantic has to offer. Take a 7 min. walk to the Carolina Beach Pier where you can appreciate a bonfire, drinks and great food at their restaurant and Tiki bar! Appreciate the ease of beachfront living complete with beach essentials (beach wagon, umbrellas, body boards, toys, and more!) AND private outdoor shower to rinse off after a day in the sun.

The Space:
The interior features bamboo floors and tile throughout. The gorgeous kitchen is complete with limestone countertops, bespoke cabinetry, Viking appliances, and counter seating with four stools. The kitchen comes completely supplied with everything you need to prepare and entertain. From serving platters, cookware, a pancake griddle, and tableware for toddlers and modest kids, North Star has it all. An additional wine bar includes a Viking wine/drink refrigerator and blender and all drinking water in our home is filtered through a reverse osmosis filtration system!

The striking open concept living room features high ceilings, a 70” TV with Roku, a surround sound system, and ample seating. Sit down for meals in the dining room with a huge table and chairs to seat 8. Surrounded by windows that overlook the ocean. A balcony off the living area overlooks the ocean and includes a table and chairs for four to savor breakfast, lunch, or just to read a good book to the sight and sound of the waves crashing.

Off of the kitchen is a screened in porch with a dining table that seats six. Savor playing cards, doing puzzles, or sharing a meal outdoors out of the sun, with the ocean breeze passing by!

Continue through the screened in porch to walk up the lit stairway, to behold the crown jewel of this home – the rooftop deck! Freshly installed WearDeck composite decking that deflects heat and keeps feet from splinters makes this a joy to lounge on. Chaise lounge chairs, as well as other chairs make for a comfortable spot to enjoy the vista. Take dinner up to dine at the bar with a granite countertop, or relax with some lemonade, chips and salsa in the afternoon. For early risers, you won't want to miss taking in the sunrise from the rooftop! Or turn on the speakers that pipe in music from the living room sound system onto the rooftop and play your favorite tunes as you watch the sunset over the canal in the evening.

Tips and Tricks for getting the best Southport vacation property experience:

When to book & When to go:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To find the most suitable rental home within your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular Southport attractions and restaurants.
• The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your rental six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes 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 your host for more information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guides have coupons for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to choose the best vacation rental in the Southport area:

• Begin by choosing a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Ocean Views + Rooftop! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rental home search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the host before you reserve your rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a rental that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• To make sure damages are not linked to your stay, make a record of any problem areas during arrival. text the property manager right away to report your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be an excellent resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let burglars ruin your holiday.
• Upon check-out, complete a walk-through to make sure you have not forget any personal items. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on great reviews to stimulate new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
