About this Property

• Sleeps 4
• 1 Bedrooms
• 1 Bathrooms
• Condo
• Approximately 840 square feet

Drop your keys on Boddington the Butler's tray (!), and head to the deck to relax while you savor the view of pretty South Harbor Village Marina ( managed by Safe Harbor, and offers transient slip options).
The beaches of Oak Island are just a short drive over the ICW. (3.2 miles to Oak Island Pier). If you are a thrill seeker, you might be tempted to try a skydive experience, which is available 5 mins. away. Rental options for boats, bicycles and kayaks are close by. Explore the parks and nature trails, or take a 15 min. drive into Southport to amble through the many Boutiques & Antique Stores, Bistros, Bakeries, Craft Beer and Wine Bars. Visit the Maritime Museum, then lounge in a swing chair on the lawn while watching the Cape Fear River boat traffic. Take a sunset cruise...highly recommended, and maybe a Ghost Tour in Southport! The condo is conveniently located, and there is complimentary parking.
There are many places to eat, but it's ideal that one of the highly rated eateries is Joseph's Italian Bistro, right next door, and Rusty Hooks Dockside Grille is a min.'s walk, with striking sunset vistas from their Porch seating.
Unwind....appreciate...relax...
Welcome!

Tips and Tricks for getting the best Carolina Beach vacation home experience:

When to visit Southport & When to book:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in Southport. Booking your vacation home in the Fall or Spring is a great way to save on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the 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 loved ones at your favorite beach.
• The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked early. Reserving your vacation property 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitors guide magazines which include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to pick the best rental in Southport:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your trip dates, and select a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Water view condo overlooking Marina, with private deck has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible online. If not, contact the property management company before booking the home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to establish what configuration is best for your family.
• If there's a particular Carolina Beach destination you are enamored with, keep an eye out for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some properties allow pets, but some don't. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the host about allowable breeds and types before booking.

During your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Record any damages to the property at check in, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if damages are assessed.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your peace and quiet. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Keep the property locked while you're out! Don't let burglars spoil your vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a wonderful stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order 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 comments.
