Spending time at the shore is a balm for the soul! It even improves your physical and mental health —the salt air, the sunshine, the tranquility of the waves and pastimes like watching sandpipers scurry make for a relaxing mood and peace of mind. At this oceanfront condo, the coastal lifestyle and all of the joy and activities that come with it are right at your doorstep.
This unit is as inviting as the ocean breeze, with a fresh, comfortable, and beachy vibe. The open living space leads to the balcony with ocean vistas — where you are likely to spend tons of time!

Our top Atlantic Beach vacation rental tips and tricks:

When to visit & When to reserve a Atlantic Beach rental home:

• June, July, and August are high season in Atlantic Beach. To get the best value, try shifting your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer great weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are reserved very early. Booking your rental home six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Property management companies sometimes offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Havelock area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines contain offers and deals for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

How to choose the perfect vacation home:

• Choose vacation dates and max budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family requires. Oceanside Condo-Southwinds G16 has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Havelock rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, call the property owner before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• If your family is bringing pets, you must reserve a property that allows animals. Get information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

Additional considerations:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make sure that no damages are linked to your family's visit, note any problem areas upon check in. Contact the rental manager right away to record any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a great source for finding the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your vacation home while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to drive more reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
