This new rental features the best marsh vistas in Timbercreek; kick back on the big screen porch and watch the moon rise over the creek or the birds stalk their dinner. When the fish start jumping, take your pole and head to the boardwalk. Or kayak down the creek or across to the clam beds.
Appreciate this charming upper 4-bedroom unit with cathedral ceiling and a unique floating staircase to the loft upstairs. There you will find a bedroom with twin beds and trundle, a half bath, and closet, all ideal for the kids. Also in the loft is a constructed-in desk and printer. For those not intent on working, we have an ample supply of games, books and puzzles.
Downstairs 2 of the 3 bedrooms have been freshly refurnished. The washer/dryer sits close by and the dryer has been revented to the outside upstairs so that clothes dry faster. The refurnished living room comfortably seats everybody and the dining table can handle dining or gaming pursuits for all. Off the master bedroom and dining area is the deck with chaise for catching those rays.
The completely equipped and newly refreshed kitchen will satisfy your culinary needs. Or grille outside on the electric or charcoal grille; some ribs, perhaps? Our screen porch features a sizable table and seating space for all while you savor the sunset and moon rise over the marsh.
Outside you will also have access to 2 golf carts, a 4- and 6- passenger, as well as bicycles, beach chairs, body boards, beach toys, and beach towels.
Our saltwater swimming pool is only steps away. After a beach or pool excursion, wash off and change in the private outdoor hot-water shower. Leave your towels and swimsuits hanging to dry and leave the sand outside.
Walk or bicycle to the Maritime Market or Sandpipers for a treat. And ask for directions to the little library on the harbor to find a good book. While you're at it, settle down for a good read and margarita at one of the harbor eateries.
So much to do and so little time!

Tricks and tips for getting the best Southport rental home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking a rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our favorite way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Many management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guides which include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• To start, have your family agree to the best dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Incomparable Timbercreek Marsh View plus Staircase to Loft Bedroom has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the host before reserving your home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to work out what configuration is optimal for your group.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or costs could be applied to your contract.
• Is your group looking for specific amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.

Have a wonderful stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents quite a few problems.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Document any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers bothering your peace and quiet. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a fantastic stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
