Review CT:
The experience was great, the owners were great and simple to get in touch with. The property was even better than described, we felt at home and were so casual. The beach is so close and convenient as well as all of the phenomenal stores and eateries.

Review AC:
This is our second time staying at Donkeys Inn and it was just as great the second time! Everything was there that we needed for a home away from home. Also so close to beach, we were able to walk.

Review JG:
We had a great time. The owners were extraordinary and very helpful. The home was gorgeous and had everything we needed. The little ones especially adored the short wagon ride to the beach. We will be back!

Tricks and tips to get the very best vacation property experience:

Money saving strategies:

• The sooner you can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best properties are booked early. Reserving your rental six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To book the best rental home for your budget, we recommend booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at Cape Fear area restaurants, beaches, and activities.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines contain discounts for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Choosing the perfect rental home in the Cape Fear area area:

• Start by selecting the best vacation week and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration you need. Great home for the working traveler. Short term or long term is welcome. has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property manager before reserving the home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Some properties allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the host about pets before booking.
• Looking for particular amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental

Know before you go:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would back home.
• To make certain damages are not linked to your visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas during check in. Get in touch with the rental manager immediately to report your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent ratings to propel future bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. 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.
