Stunning sunset vistas, white sand stretching out before your eyes, and even your furry co-pilot along for the ride – your next adventure begins at A New Hope! Float weightlessly in the private pool, gather on the wrap-around porches to lounge and savor the island breeze or settle around the front yard firepit during chilly weather as the soundtrack of the waves plays in the distance. Located just across the street from the shore and close to the Oak Island Pier, beach access is a breeze, and you can comfortably walk to multiple local bars and eateries in the evenings.

On the first floor, you’ll enter into the smaller of two living rooms. A comfortable sectional and matching armchair still provide plenty of seating for your crew to appreciate a movie or stream a favorite show on the flatscreen TV. The sectional converts to a queen sleeper couch if additional sleeping space is needed. Two bedrooms, each with a queen bed, share a connecting full bath. Both feature direct deck access. The bunk room is also located on this floor with a double-over-double bunk bed along with a twin trundle. This room includes a private full bath, and there is an additional full bathroom with hall access just off the living room to ensure everybody has enough space to get ready.

Upstairs, you’ll find an open concept main living space flooded with natural light. Thanks to the reverse floorplan and broad windows, you’ll take in pretty vistas of the Atlantic from the high ground whether you sink into the couches or venture out to the covered porch beyond. The sturdy dining table just beyond the living room can seat up to ten for both family meals and friendly game nights. The adjacent kitchen has plenty of counter space and all the appliances and cookware you’ll need to prepare freshly caught fish or seasonal produce from local markets. Plus, a dedicated pantry means there’s actually enough room to put your supplies away! A half bath is located just off the kitchen for your convenience.

The master bedroom is also located on this floor, complete with a king bed and direct deck access. Wake up to the sights and sounds of the waves each morning! As in all of the downstairs bedrooms, there is a flatscreen TV for personal entertainment. The attached private bath features a walk-in tiled shower with a rainfall showerhead as well as a detachable handheld wand.

In the backyard, the fenced pool area features tropical landscaping and plenty of furnishings for catching a tan or dining al fresco. The pool itself is sizable enough for everybody to splash or float comfortably, and even includes a tanning ledge. The enclosed outdoor shower makes cleaning the sand off of kids or canines (this home accepts up to one dog per stay) simple and convenient. In the front yard, Adirondack chairs are arranged around the firepit. Tell stories to the little ones as you’re dramatically lit by firelight and teach the time-honored tradition of roasting the ideal marshmallow to the crashing music of the waves. Set your course, gather your crew and have a blast on a classic beach adventure at A New Hope!

Tips for getting the best Cape Fear area vacation rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To book the best rental for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at Cape Fear area restaurants, tours, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies often offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area travel guide magazines which will include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Selecting the best rental home:

• Begin by choosing your the best vacation week and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration you need. A New Hope: Ocean View with Private Pool and Easy Beach Access has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is often accessible on booking websites. If not, call the host before booking your home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what is best for your group.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Cape Fear area attraction you long to visit, search for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

Tips to have a wonderful stay:

• Add the property manager's information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• During check-in, note any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your home life. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and places you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Just before checking out, take a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property a final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a great stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
