'Ocean Beach' resides at 21 Silversides Trail directly across the street from the beach on a cul-de-sac. WHAT A VIEW! We are midway down the South Beach, near the Maritime Market, fire station, boutique stores and nearly exactly between The Bald Head Island Club and The Shoals Club.

Our new home got a thorough going-over and is redecorated, repainted, and rebranded in the owners style. Our opulent new linens is sure to please everybody. There are two master bedrooms, all four bedrooms have king beds with a twin in the upstairs master. Each bedroom has new 32' flat screen TVs.

Please remember to make reservations with the Bald Head Island Ferry to arrive and depart. Your ferry ticket also provides you with tram service but is not automatically added to tickets. Tram reservations require a distinct booking from the ferry to 21 Silversides Trail. Arrival may not be before 4 PM and Departure must be by 10 AM on the day of Departure.

Guests wishing optional Temporary Guest Memberships at The Bald Head Island Club and or The Shoals Club should contact them immediately upon booking our home. This is done by visiting their respective websites and following instructions for Guest Membership, there is an additional fee for each Club. The host has no responsibility in the Guest Membership quest other than assuring The Club(s) we are hosting a particular guest.

All linens and towels are supplied. We have wireless high speed internet service.

The view from the upper deck is just spectacular and accepts us to see from the Cape Fear River to Frying Pan Shoals. Dolphins are frequent visitors to 'our' beach and are effortlessly seen from all 3 porches.

In the garage you will find a 4 passenger and a 6 passenger golf cart. You MUST be a licensed driver to operate the golf carts on Bald Head Island. The shaded protected area that is the entry to our home, also serves as a place to escape the sun in one of the hammock. There is a sandy play area under the home for those little ones who have grown tired of our sun drenched beaches and a hot outside shower to get rid of the sand.

The Maritime Market is rather striking considering they must bring everything to the Island on a barge. The selections are extremely good and the service is gorgeous.

Tips to get the very best vacation rental experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• In the Southport area, The earlier your group can book, the easier your search will be. The best properties are booked very early. Reserving your rental six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Reserve your Southport rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Southport area magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines contain deals for nearby tours and attractions.

Planning and picking the perfectvacation home:

• Begin by selecting your potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Oceanfront \/Spectacular Views\/\"OCEAN BEACH \" has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport vacation rental search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is usually accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property manager before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? 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. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or costs may be applied to your contract.
• If there's an individual Southport beach you simply love, search for properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking

Have a great stay:

• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent a lot of concerns.
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
• Upon check-in, document any issues with the property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers bothering your home life. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
