Feel like you've really escaped to the tropics with a vacation stay at Wave Haven! From the moment you pull up to the welcoming hammock strung in the shade under the home and the fun pastel colors adorning the front porch, you'll know you've arrived to the ultimate coastal getaway. Finest of all, everybody can come along, as this home accepts up to three dogs per stay.

The open concept living area is designed with plenty of open floor space for the dogs and kiddos to play, while still providing plenty of seating for your crew on the comfortable sectional and armchair so you can settle in to watch a movie on the wall-mounted flatscreen TV. The oval dining table is set for six, but can seat up to eight, and an additional three barstools are available at the close by breakfast bar. The modern kitchen features stainless steel appliances and all the cookware you need to prepare family meals.

When it comes time to retire at nighttime, all three bedrooms feature their own TV, so there's no arguing over what to watch before bed. The master bedroom features a king bed and private ensuite bath with a step in shower. Down the hall, a standard bathroom with a tub/shower combo is shared by the other two bedrooms. The first bedroom is furnished with two queen beds, while the bunkroom has two twin-over-double bunk beds.

Outside, relax in the Adirondack chairs on the ocean-facing front porch while you listen to the waves and watch the sparkle of the sunlight on the sea. Take an afternoon nap while you sway in the hammock downstairs, or grille up the catch of the day on the included park grille. An enclosed outdoor shower makes cleaning up after hitting the beach a breeze, and when you are ready to hit the sand, beach access is right across the street and two homes to the left. Or, walk about a block and a half to reach the Ocean Crest Fishing Pier, where you'll also find trendy waterfront dining spots Island Way and The Seahorse Eats and Drinks.

Gather up your crew and canines and catch striking tropical vacation vibes at Wave Haven!

Finding the best value:

• In the Southport area, The earlier your group can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved early. Reserving your vacation home up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Reserve your Southport rental property in the Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or 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 vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.

• Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
