“Windansea" is an architectural beauty that greets you with coastal elegance at every turn. Life outside is where the true BHI memories are made, and this home provides it in abundance. You will be greeted by a southern lower level covered front porch where you can appreciate calming while listening to the ocean. Have coffee or drinks or take refuge from the sun or rain on the gorgeous second level porch. Outdoor living continues with the unique 3rd-story covered deck high above the tree-tops (affectionately called “the nest”) which is really an extended outdoor second “family room” where you will likely spend a significant amount of your time relaxing and socializing. It is equipped with an outside kitchen, cushy seating and ocean breezes and vistas. You will appreciate to use this hard-to-leave location for morning coffee, afternoon napping, meal grilling, evening beverages, and of course sunset watching. And if you want still more outdoor space, savor the two lower screened-in porches (one relaxing, one dining), multiple kid hangout places, and a private fenced-in yard.

Windansea is located on a private, sizable lot, surrounded by trees and natural vegetation just steps to the Ocean and Shoals Club. Between 212 and 214 Portsmouth Way you will find a wooden plank pathway that goes over the “hill" where you cross Station House Way to #41 Beach Access.

The home is laid out in a reverse floor plan with the primary living space on the second floor, which is at the tree-top level accepting for sunlight to cascade in from the sunrise to sunset. There are dual Master Bedrooms both with King-size Beds and ensuite Bathrooms giving you the choice to sleep downstairs (closer to younger kids) or upstairs (further from older ones). There are two Queen Guest rooms - one with a trundle bed and they share a Jack and Jill bathroom. And, if you need an escape or have a bigger group, there is a separate Crofter over the double Garage area that is the 5th Bedroom with a King Bed and an ensuite Bathroom, mini-refrigerator and counter. “Close but still away” is how we like to describe this private space. The Crofter Deck is a ideal spot for stargazing after a relaxing day at the beach.

The main living area is open, grandiose and can hold tons of people at any one time, making family gatherings super simple and all inclusive. The entirely outfitted Gourmet Kitchen will allow the chef in your group to make memorable meals for all to enjoy while dining at the XL dining table.

In true BHI fashion, comfortable spaces mesh effortlessly with high end finishes - 10’+ ceilings, huge Bedrooms, constructed-ins, this high-end bespoke home construction has it all to make your BHI vacation a great one.

Windansea's namesake is from another well-known beach from the owner's original hometown of La Jolla, California and is definitely a home that will enhance your family vacation and help you create lasting memories for years to come.

Vacation rental tips and tricks:

Finding the best rental value:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Reserving a rental home in the Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies frequently offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Often, property management companies supply Southport area travel guides which will include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Narrow your Search:

• Select a group lead, choose your trip dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Stunning 5BR 4.5 BA Home Steps to E Beach BHI and Shoals Clubs Pet Friendly has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available on booking pages. Otherwise, email or call the property management company before you reserve your home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to determine what is suitable for your family.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• If there's a certain Southport attraction you love, keep an eye out for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

Know before you go:

• Get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of difficulties.
• Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• To make certain damages aren't attributed to your visit, inspect the property for any problem areas upon check in. Make contact with the host immediately to document your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors bothering your peaceful home. Use 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 resident! Residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a great vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
