Pack your belongings and head out to the handsome west side of the island, where you'll be charmed by this beach home! Don't forget Fido - A Fair Wind accepts up to one dog per reservation.

Walking into this home, you'll feel instantly welcomed by this open-concept living space. The main room has plenty of seating surrounding a enormous TV. (Please note that the pictured fireplace is not available for guest use.) Watch a movie or play games on the couch, perhaps even read a book during a calming evening on the recliner. To the left, there are double doors leading out to the porch, where you can appreciate the salt air and breeze in your hair. This porch has five seats for sunbathing and a place to kick up your feet and relax as you watch the waves.

Walk into the kitchen on granite tile floors and savor a meal with family on the kitchen island, which also serves as the dining table. It seats up to ten members of your family, with four barstools. The kitchen is equipped with cooking basics so you can enjoy a home-cooked meal with the ocean in view. A Keurig is supplied to make your coffee as swiftly as possible before you miss the sunrise, and a crock pot to have your dinner simmering by the time you make it back from the beach. There is an outdoor shower to rinse off with, and a washer and dryer, so your breeches don't stay sandy!

There are four bedrooms, and two have king beds with en-suite bathrooms. The other two rooms come with queen beds and share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. Each bedroom contains a TV for your entertainment.

A two-min. walk from the beach, and only a short drive everywhere else! Three-min. drive to the Lonerider brewpub, and a five-min. drive to The Point. Appreciate the west end at its best by booking here at A Fair Wind!

Strategies to get the perfect rental home experience:

When to go & When to book:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are high season in Oak Island. Booking in Fall or Spring months is a great way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area travel guide magazines that include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Begin by selecting a vacation week and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. A Fair Wind: Second-Row Beach House With a Porch Perfect for Sunbathing has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the host before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to establish what configuration is right for your trip.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• If there's an individual Southport attraction you simply love, search for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.

Tips for your stay:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Document any damages to the property at check in, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if a dispute is filed.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to compel new bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will will be grateful for 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 manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
