This pretty, cozy beach bungalow is located two mins. from Middleton Drive, which has painless beach access in both directions. There is also a walkover at SE 9th Street worth exploring. Packed full of character, this beach bungalow feels like a home away from home as it sits tucked away amongst the trees.

The living room is furnished with a appreciate chair and two recliners. This area also has a wooden China cabinet, which may transport some guests back to grandmother’s home. The flat screen TV rests on the matching wooden TV stand in the living room, where your family and friends can gather for leisure and fun. Along the vaulted ceiling hangs a ceiling fan to offer a cool breeze on hot, summer days.

To the left of the living room is the hallway, where you'll find the laundry closet on the right. The first guest bedroom has a queen-sized bed, comfortable for calming after a long day at the beach or strolling around the island. This room is ideal for reading a book or just to get away from it all.

The second guest bedroom is located down this same hallway to the left. This room has two twin-sized beds. This room has a vintage yet inviting feeling that welcomes you as soon as you walk in. This is the ideal area to wind down and listen to the natural world outside.

Across from the hallway of the second guest bedroom is a charmingly decorated full bathroom with a shower.

The dining area sits adjacent to the living room, with seating for seven. Feast on your favorite island dish all while planning your next adventure on the island.

The kitchen is beside the dining area. Equipped with a stainless-steel refrigerator, stove, dishwasher and microwave, this traditional kitchen is made for a family gathering. With its granite countertops and light wooden cabinetry, this area suits guests well.

Aside from the dining area is the master bedroom with a king-sized bed. This primary bedroom has a flat-screen TV that sits on a T.V. stand to watch your favorite shows. Inside the bedroom is the master bathroom that has a shower. This section of the home seeks seclusion and calmness.

The fenced backyard makes this handsome home one of a kind. Charming trees surround you as you appreciate your family and friends on the outside patio. Gather around the firepit on the patio, which seats eight, or grille your favorite meal. Use the outdoor shower to rinse off after a hot day at the beach. There is also outside storage for any beach toys or additional vacation essentials you may need stored away.

Tips to get the optimal Southport vacation rental experience:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

To get the best rental for your budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at popular Southport attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
Property managers often offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area travel guide magazines which will include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning, selecting, and booking the rightrental:

Start by having your group agree to dates and a max budget.
Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Ruff Life: Bungalow with Easy Beach Access has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking websites. If not, call the property management company before booking the home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
If there's a particular Southport attraction you are enamored with, search for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
Some rentals allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Advice for a wonderful stay:

Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
Record any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if there is a dispute.
Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
Respect the neighborhood. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let thieves ruin your family vacation.
Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
Did your group have a excellent time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. 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 it a point as part of your feedback.
