Feeling down? Some quality time with family and friends at this classic beach bungalow is just the Remedy you're looking for! Nap in the hammock as the ocean breeze sweeps over you, gather on the covered porch for peaceful conversation as you watch the rolling waves or walk across the street to comb the sand for sea-borne treasures.

An eye-catching tile backsplash and bright white cabinetry welcome guests into the kitchen, where two barstools at the center island allow you to keep the family chef company as they prepare meals. Entirely supplied with serving and cookware, you'll find everything you need to serve up simple family favorites or prepare the fresh catch of the day. The open-concept design flows into the dining area, where the glass top tale seats six comfortably. In the living room, a couch, adore seat and pair of armchairs provides plenty of space to gather together to watch a favorite movie on the enormous TV or gaze at the sea as you watch pelicans and gulls swoop for their next meal.

To the east, two bedrooms with queen beds share hall access to a full bathroom with a standard tub/shower combo. The oceanfront bedroom on this side also provides an armchair and a TV for personal entertainment. On the west side of the home, the oceanfront king bedroom connects to the bunkroom via a Jack and Jill bath with a double vanity. The bunkroom is furnished with a twin-over-twin bunk bed and a futon that provides the ideal additional hang out space. (Please note that the top bunk is rated for a max. weight of 120 lbs.) Each of these bedrooms provides a TV as well.

The covered front porch is furnished with a pair of wooden Adirondack chairs as well as a pair of higher Captain's chairs that really let you drink in the view. Underneath the shade of the home, a circle of classic wooden rockers beckons you to sit together and appreciate the sea breeze, while the classic wooden picnic table is the ideal spot to dine outdoors. The enclosed outdoor shower makes rinsing off after a day on the beach simple, and when it is time to hit the beach, less than 400 feet takes you to Oak Island's famed white sands via the 13th Place West Beach Access. For those with mobility concerns, the accessible access at 10th Place West is still less than 800 feet from your doorstep!

Settle into the pace of island life and let the anxiety of the everyday melt away - Book your stay now and don't delay your Remedy a single day longer!

Our top Rental home booking tips and tricks:

Getting the best value:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Southport area. To find the best value, change your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides have coupons for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

How to select the perfect vacation home in the Southport area:

• Select dates and maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family needs. Remedy: Updated Carolina Cottage with Ocean Views has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available online. If they are not listed, contact the host before reserving the home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to establish what is right for your vacation group.
• Is your family looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some do not. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask your host about pet restrictions before booking.

During your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your stay, record any problem areas when you arrive. Contact the host right away to record any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Protect your property!
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on good reviews to compel future reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
