For the ultimate in coastal relaxation, check in at Chick-Inn of the Sea! Savor super painless beach access around 250 feet away from this third-row home. When you’re ready for a break from the sand, your private pool getaway awaits instead. Savor drinks around the firepit as the kids splash the evening away. You can even let Fido romp around the fenced backyard, as this vacation rental accepts one dog weighing up to 50 lbs per stay.

Enter into a bright and welcoming open-concept living space, complete with the whimsical touches and eye-catching art you’ll find throughout the home. Gather together to savor a movie on the wall-mounted TV, which swivels if needed, or bask in the glow of the electric fireplace for peaceful conversation instead. All bedrooms in the home also include a TV for personal entertainment. The modern kitchen supplies all the appliances and cookware you need for preparing fresh local seafood or a favorite recipe from home. A sturdy dining table with bench seating along one side will hold six to eight adults comfortably, and an additional three barstools are available at the close by breakfast bar.

When it’s time to retire for the nighttime, you’ll find two master suites, each with its own private bathroom furnished with a tiled walk in shower. The first master suite overlooks the pool and features a king bed and walk in closet, while the second suite provides a queen bed. An additional guest room with a double bed shares hall access to a full bath with the final sleeping space, the bunkroom. With two twin-over-twin bunk beds and quirky locker storage, kids will adore all the fun pops of color.

Outside, listen to the waves as you sip your morning coffee from the covered front deck, complete with a variety of chairs and end tables, or keep a watchful eye on activity in the pool below from the outdoor couch on the back covered deck. On the ground level, your private pool getaway beckons. Lush tropical landscaping helps you feel secluded from the world beyond. Play a fast round of the unique pink flamingo ring toss game, lounge around the pool and soak in the rays or relax around the firepit with S’mores and stories. Appreciate a meal al fresco at the outdoor table and take advantage of the oh-so-Instagram-able bespoke mural as a backdrop with a quick shot of your culinary adventures!

Bringing your fur-infant along? Please note that dogs are not allowed in the pool and should not be left unattended in the fenced backyard, as all grassy areas there are artificial turf. A pet walking area is located in the front of the home, as well as pet waste elimination bags in a dispenser to make cleaning up after your pooch a breeze.

When you’re ready to head to the beach, you’ll find beach chairs, umbrellas and toys available for your use. You can even rent the optional golf cart supplied by the property, complete with a parking pass, for an additional $400 per week to keep the sand out of your own car. Plus, supplied bicycles make exploring the island simple, and when you’re ready to embark on an off-island adventure or two (whether heading into Southport to walk along the historic downtown and Cape Fear River or into Wilmington for attractions like Battleship North Carolina), you’ll appreciate the convenience of this location to the Middleton Bridge.

Rental property booking tips and tricks:

Get the best rental home value:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking a rental in Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies frequently offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Many management companies supply Cape Fear area area travel guides which will include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning and picking the bestrental:

• Start by having your family decide on the best dates and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Chick-Inn of the Sea: Enjoy the Private Pool at This Dog-Friendly Third Row Home has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking websites. Otherwise, call the property management company before booking the rental. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to determine what is suitable for your vacation.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or costs may be applied to your agreement.
• Looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before booking

More considerations:

• Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent a lot of issues.
• Lock your vacation home while you're out. Keep your property safe!
• To make sure that damages are not linked to your visit, inspect the property for any problem areas upon your arrival. Get in touch with the property manager immediately to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers disrupting your peaceful home life. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Just before checking out, complete a walk-through to confirm you didn't leave anything behind. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a fantastic vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address 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.
