(5 BR, 4.5BA, 5Q, 2 Golf Carts, Sunday turn in Peak Season, CHECK OUT 10:30AM / CHECK IN 4:30PM)This five bedroom, 4.5 bath, oceanfront Bald Head Island sanctuary delivers sun-drenched holidays just steps (down the semi-private boardwalk) to sandy South Beach. Cross through the cloistered yard onto the comfortable, covered front porch. Then enter the sunny, vaulted entryway where you are welcomed to relax on the impressive constructed-in bench. From here, warm hardwoods lead you to the open floor plan’s cavernous, natural light-filled living area-an inviting and cozy spot that’s ideal for family games and movie-watching. However, this space’s highlight is its dune vistas through its back wall of windows. Appreciate that perspective from inside or step out onto the home-length covered back deck, where rocking chairs beckon you to stop and savor briny breezes or grab a snack and munch at the picnic table while listening to waves breaking on the shore. Back inside, the bright, generous dining area, cornered by more walls of windows, offers access to the third outdoor living space-a screened side porch that homes a conversation area as well as a tasteful dining set-ideal for alfresco meals. The home’s multi-chef kitchen bestows an outdoor table as well as a breakfast bar seating for three, stainless appliances and plenty of prep space and storage. On the other side of this level, a cheery Primary Queen suite pampers with three closets, its own ensuite with a tub, shower and double vanity and its own entry to the screened porch. A powder room completes this floor. Upstairs are three more sunlit corner Queen bedrooms. The first and second share a Jack and Jill bath with a double vanity. The latter also features expansive seascapes from inside and through its door to the second level’s home-length sundeck. This perch is where you’ll end your days mesmerized by the beauty of the sun setting over the water. It’s spectacular every evening! Another Queen suite also bestows sun deck entrée and gorgeous Atlantic aspects as well as its own full bath ensuite. Additionally, the laundry is conveniently located on this floor. For those desiring more privacy, the home’s crofter provides its own deck with glimpses of the ocean just outside a thoughtfully appointed Queen suite that features a sitting/TV space and coffee bar with a sink and mini refrigerator. Centrally located between the two clubs, close to the Conservancy and stores, supplying two four-passenger golf carts for guest use, furnishing three outdoor showers, including a fun event deck on the beach access close to the sand as well as WWP's 24/7 Property Manager Assistance Line-which means you can reach needed help even after hours or on weekends, one stay at Southwinds will make it your BHI vacation go-to home year after year.

Getting the best vacation home experience:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

• Booking in the Spring or Fall is a great way to save on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• The earlier your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are reserved very early. Reserving your rental property up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines have coupons for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Planning and picking your prefect Carolina Beach vacation home:

• Select vacation week and max budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Southwind is an Oceanfront Beach Cottage just steps to South Beach! has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible online. If they are not listed, call the property owner before you reserve your home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If there's a particular Carolina Beach beach you simply love, look for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some properties allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the host about pets before booking.

More tips for your stay:

• Add the host's phone number to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Note any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents a lot of issues.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• On check-out day, take a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and look for damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a terrific stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
