About this Property

• Sleeps 9
• 4 Bedrooms
• 2 Bathrooms
• Private vacation home

Summary:
The first story of a three story structure, this 3 bed 2 bath home is light, modern and airy.

Hosted by Abundance Vacation Units, staying here is a dream: beachfront vistas and access to the shore by our structure’s private boardwalk with foot hose, outdoor shower and benches.

You will have the ocean out front and the lake with farmers market, paddle boats and playground out back.

We even have a kid’s play home swing and slide on the sand.

The Space:
You have full use of the first floor home. It is completely self contained. There is another unit that occupies the upper two floors, and they will share the parking below the home and the boardwalk out to the ocean.

Guest Access:
You have full access to the first floor home and porch. There is a delightful kid’s play area on the sand below the boardwalk with slide, swing and clubhouse. That is available to everybody in the home. There are full laundry facilities inside the home. You may also store your boards, bicycles and beach chairs below the home in the carport.

The Neighborhood:
We are walking distance to just about everything on the island — a big fireworks display can be seen every Thursday nighttime right from the deck!
There is a weekly craft and farmers market as well as outdoor family movie projections, bingo nights outdoors at the boardwalk, live music... and so much more available by a short walk down the beach.

A brand new play structure has been installed by the lake which is a short walk and viewable from the back windows.

There are private surf and paddle board lessons as well as week long camps also just a short walk down the sand. We are so ideally located, but without the heavy hordes of the hotels.

You can also walk or bicycle to eateries and coffee stores.

We try to keep our calendar refreshed, but Airbnb only lets us work with exactly 365 days at a time. So if you are booking far in advance, please keep in mind that for the middle of summer there may be a seven day limit and Saturday check in and check out will still apply — just send me a fast note and I’ll get back to you.

Other Things to Note:
We also supply the following for each property:
A starter kit of one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, one roll of paper towels, a trash bag, and dish soap. We also supply laundered bed linens, comforters, and 1 bathing towel and wash cloth per person. We do not supply any beach gear or beach towel. We have great rental companies on the island we would be more than happy to share the info with you. We also do not supply laundry detergent, body soap or shampoo/conditioner as we find everybody has their own preferences for these =) Please review our home rules prior to your stay

Vacation rental home tips and tricks:

Money saving strategies:

• The sooner your group can book, the easier your search will be. The best properties are reserved very early. Booking your rental property six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Summer is the most expensive season in the Cape Fear area area. Reserve your Cape Fear area rental property in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Often, management companies supply Cape Fear area area travel guides which will include money-saving 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 magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Choose a group leader, choose your vacation dates, and select a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group requires. Abundance in the Sand: one story, modern and clean has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible on booking websites. If not, email or call the host before booking the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Do your family pets travel with you? 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! Pet fees or costs applied to your contract.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .

Considerations for your stay:

• Put the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would at home.
• During check-in, note any issues with the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors disrupting your peace and quiet. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on great feedback to compel more bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review find their best rental home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
