This condo will accommodate up to seven in the two cavernous bedrooms with room for two more on the queen sleeper couch in the living room. Off the living room is a private "stand only" balcony (no room for outdoor seating) that offers a glimpse of the ocean. The elevator and stairway are just steps from the condo's front door. Appreciate generous opportunities to hunt shells, watch dolphins play, kayak, jet ski, paddle boarding, charter a fishing or sightseeing trip, bird-watch, surf, pier fish, golf, play putt-putt, attend weekly outdoor summer concerts or just watch captivating sunrises and sunsets at the beach. With just a 10-15 min. drive into close by cozy and historic Southport, there is even more sightseeing and unique stores, as well as fine and casual dining. Stop by the Southport Visitors Center to learn more about all the amazing things to do. Everyone will be able to find something they like. You can even take a ferry ride for the day over to Bald Head Island or to Carolina Beach's Fort Fisher Aquarium. Come and get away from it all. The hustle and bustle of our little family-aligned island and surrounding towns is nowhere near as crazy as the big city. Here, you're just a short "Ocean Walk" away from total relaxation with still a bit of convenience.

Cape Fear area rental booking tips and tricks:

Finding the best value:

• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To get the best rental for your budget, we recommend reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at Cape Fear area restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area travel guides which include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• First and foremost, have your group choose a vacation week and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. 2 Bdrm\/2 Bath Condo, Pool, Elevator, Close To Beach!, Sleeps 7 has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is normally available on booking websites. If not, email or call the host before you book your home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to determine what configuration is optimal for your vacation.
• If there's an individual Cape Fear area attraction you are crazy about, browse homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

More tips for your stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• To make sure that damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, inspect the property for any problem areas during arrival. Speak to the rental manager immediately to document any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
