If anyone read the the Vacation Rental By Owner AI generated description which appeared for a few weeks in error, please ignore that seriously misleading and deficient description of our OCEANFRONT beach home which is owner managed.

Pelican Watch is a splendid 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath, plus outside shower, which is oceanfront on the East End of Holden Beach (NOT in Supply, but that's our post office and zip code). I re-opened our private heated pool in early March and will have it open until November. The beach strand is frequently renourished and is broad and in great shape. The home is very tall and sits behind two rows of dunes and a limited use one-way street. Take a short walk to stairs over our protective dunes to access the uncrowded beach strand.

Holden Beach, and especially the "East End" is much less densely developed than many Carolina beaches.

Pelican Watch is very tall with great sweeping vistas over the dunes, beach strand and the Atlantic. Three of the 4 bedrooms as well as the living room are oceanfront with plenty of glass. The ELEVATOR goes from the ground / parking level to the top floor, without a stop at the lower living level. The top floor (served by elevator) supplied: living room; dining; kitchen; elevated sitting area with access to a back deck; oceanfront porch; one Oceanfront queen suite, and a half bath off common areas. The lower living level (no elevator stop) has: Oceanfront suite with king bed; oceanfront bedroom with queen bed which shares a bath with back bedroom with a full size bed and roll out single trundle.
Private heated pool has lounge chairs. We have a collections (varies) of beach chairs, pool floats, body boards,

Our kitchen is much better outfitted than the typical beach rental. My wife and I designed Pelican Watch and it's our third (now only one) home on the East End. We are actively involved in the entire operation and are supported by longtime local cleaning and maintenance professionals.

Sometimes the calendar might show as "blocked" but might be available. I'm retired and I get there frequently, but often have flexibility. Reach out with any questions,
Thanks, Irv Woods
PS Over 80% of of annual rental nights are booked by multi-years repeat renters, some for more than 15 consecutive years.

Vacation rental tips and tricks:

Finding your best deal:

• Book your Southport rental home in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers typically offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Often, management companies supply Southport area visitors guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning and picking a perfectvacation home:

• Select your dates and budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Oceanfront, Easter Special, Private Heated Pool is Open, EV charging, Elevator has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the property manager before you reserve the rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's an individual Southport destination you are crazy about, browse properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Remember to include your furry companions! 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. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or charges might be applied to your invoice.

More tips for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Upon arrival, document any damages to the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible source for finding the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Just prior to departing, complete a walk-through to make sure you didn't forget any personal items. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a great stay? Most rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
