The Adore Shack is a quintessential beach bungalow oozing with appeal, character and knotty pine. During your stay, you can soak up the ocean vistas from the comfortable living room and kitchen or take less than 30 steps to walk across the street to the beach access!

This retro-style kitchen will make you feel like you're in your very own diner. Put on some disco and dance as you make something to snack on, and savor it at the bar overlooking the water through the huge open window. The living room provides plenty of cozy seating so you can sit back, relax and watch a movie on the flat-screen T.V., or watch the film of nature by looking at the waves outside.

The Adore Shack is ideal for the whole family with a king, a queen, two twin beds and a pack-and-play (all refreshed in 2024). Two fur babies (dogs only) are welcome to stay and will be met with their own collapsible food/water bowls that you can bring with you to the beach (or Deer Island - only one block away) to play!

The Appreciate Shack holds a piece of Oak Island history as one of the only Hurricane Hazel (1954) homes left on the island. The Appreciate Shack is waiting for you to add your memories - book today to have a chance to stay at this funky piece of heaven!

Tricks and tips to get the perfect vacation rental experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Southport area. Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring months is a great way to save on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Some property managers offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites often offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area travel guides which will include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the 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.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by selecting vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration you need. Love Shack: Charming Oceanview Cottage on East Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the host before you reserve your rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Some rentals allow pets, but some don't. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• Are you visiting for a single event? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More tips for your visit:

• Store the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let crooks ruin your holiday.
• During check-in, document any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your peace and quiet. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and look for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on good feedback to propel new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
