Appreciate Winds is kept fresh by changing out furnishings every couple of years. We also change the pillows after each season as well as bedspreads.

In a straight line the home is a half of a mile from beach.
If you want to walk to the beach take the breathtaking walkway at the end of our street. The nature trail starts out going over a bridge "Little Davies canal", through the woods then a boardwalk over the marsh, you will come to a street and should be able to see the ocean at that point, the walk takes about 15 - 20 mins..
You can shorten the walk by parking at the recreation center and walking from there, it cuts the walk time by half.
Take a fishing rod and fish off the boardwalk on your way back from the beach for a fresh dinner.
If you have tons to carry then it's a 2 min. drive to the many access points you can park ,some are just yards from the beach next to the homes on the beach.

After a long day at the beach savor the shade of the handsome oak trees surrounding the home and untouched wooded tons next door. Sit in the screened in deck and watch the modest wild life frolic in the yard. In the evening sit at the fire pit next to the home.
Take a charming evening walk to the beach down our street and through the nature trail. Find your inner kid and discover the tree home or bring a fishing poll and fish off the boardwalk.Then continue your walk down to the beach.

Tricks and tips to get the perfect Cape Fear area vacation property experience:

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

• In the Cape Fear area area, The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early. Reserving your vacation rental six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Reserve your rental property in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guides contain coupons for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Select your dates and maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Clean ~ beautiful setting ~ scenic walk or ride your bikes to the beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property management company before reserving the vacation property. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You will need to establish which bed configuration is optimal for your vacation family.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or charges could be applied to your invoice.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Tips for your stay:

• Put the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let burglars spoil your trip.
• Note any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are very helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your quiet neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected everything. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a excellent vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was great, 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 feedback.
