Panacea is a mid-island, pet and family friendly bungalow on the peaceful end of Sunset Beach. A short three min. walk gets you to the beach, over the elevated boardwalk that accepts vistas into the broad dunes that serve as home to deer, rabbits and sea turtle nests. Throw down your beach towel and appreciate one of the widest beaches on the east coast at low tide with great puddles to lounge, splash or build sand castles. Turn to the right towards Bird Island to find the fabled Kindred Spirit mailbox and leave your own message and continue on to discover the rock jetty that lines the inland waterway. Or turn to the left and you're headed toward the pier, great for people watching and getting an old fashioned orange sherbet push-up treat.
Panacea has been refreshed with modern but not too fussy beach décor throughout, with open floor plan and cavernous bedrooms creating a comfortable and welcoming ambiance. Bedroom One has a king bed, two nighttime stands, dresser, TV and bench. Bedroom Two has a queen bed flanked by nightstands, dresser and mirror, bench and wing chair. Bedroom Three has queen bed, dresser, and side chair. Bedroom Four is the twin bedroom with a chest of drawers also serving as a nighttime stand, TV and full length mirror. The living area has a full sized couch with recliners on the ends, recliner appreciate seat and a single reclining chair (sounds like a lot of calming going on!).

The dining table seats 6 but can be expanded with additional leaf stored in twin bedroom closet, additional seating with four stools at the bar. The kitchen has all the expected appliances--refrigerator, oven range, dishwasher, microwave. Mr Coffee Maker and Keurig, electric can opener, 4 slot toaster/bagel, toaster oven all available. The laundry area homes the washer, dryer, expandable drying rack, broom, dust pan (all you need since housekeeping is supplied!) with board games and puzzles on the shelf. The back deck sports appreciate seat, chairs and a picnic table. The enormous front porch with plenty of seating (2 loveseats, 4 chairs, 2 coffee tables and two chair high bistro table set for morning coffee) is the ideal place to gather and savor those that matter most.
Under the home provides shaded parking but if you back your cars out a little sidewalk chalk can create a space for budding artists or a game of hop-scotch. The outside shower has a bench, hooks for towels and a hand-held shower head with great water pressure. A bin MAY have body boards, rafts, beach chairs and a variety of sand toys and a fat tired aluminum wagon with fishing pole holders will make it painless to cart whatever you want to the beach, just be sure to go down to the 40th street access (no steps). And after a day on the beach if you want to prepare out, a 3 burner propane gas grille is at the ready for burgers, steak or whatever you caught fishing.

This Panacea is a definite cure for those needing some R&R!

Tips to get the best vacation rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Southport area. Book your rental in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have deals for local accommodations and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by choosing your a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Pet Friendly Cottage On Sunset Beach. Spacious, Comfortable And Ideally Located! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is often available on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the host before you book the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to establish what configuration is suitable for your group.
• If your group is traveling with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• Is your group looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

Advice for your stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental while you're out. Keep your property safe!
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your family's stay, note any problem areas during arrival. message the property manager right away to report your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors bothering your life at home. Employ the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Re-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a terrific time? Many rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
