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.

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 included 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.

When to reserve a Cape Fear area rental home & When to go:

• In the Cape Fear area area, The sooner your group can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked early. Reserving your vacation rental six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• To find the best value, try shifting your trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer excellent weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, management companies supply Cape Fear area area travel guides which often include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Selecting and booking the best Cape Fear area vacation home:

• Choose a group leader, choose your dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family requires. Chick-Inn of the Sea: Enjoy the Private Pool at This Dog-Friendly Third Row Home has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking pages. If not, email or call the property manager before booking the vacation property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches. You'll need to work out what bed configuration is optimal for your vacation family.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a particular Cape Fear area beach you simply love, look for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Advice for your stay:

• Add the owner's contact info to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent a lot of concerns.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Make a record of any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be useful if a dispute is filed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your peaceful home. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and places you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Just before checking out, complete a walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a fantastic time? Many rental managers make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
