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 numerous 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 handsome 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 huge 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) painless 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 and Tricks to get the best Cape Fear area vacation property experience:

Finding your perfect rental:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Reserve your Cape Fear area rental home in the Spring or Fall to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Some property management companies offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines have money saving offers on local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

How to select the perfect rental in the Cape Fear area area:

• To start, have your family select dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number 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.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available on booking websites. Otherwise, call the property manager before booking the vacation property. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to work out which bed configuration is right for your family.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to book a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Cape Fear area destination you are enamored with, browse rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let crooks spoil your family vacation.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be helpful if there is a dispute.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers bothering your peaceful home. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected everything. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Many rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix 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.
