It has not been rated by Vacation Rental By Owner yet because this is the 1st year that it is rented on the Vacation Rental By Owner platform.

Avoid the check-in / check-out chaos on Saturdays. Peak season units are from Sunday to Sunday.

You do not need to bring sheets or towels if you rent for the FULL WEEK. PARTIAL WEEK RENTALS receive linens but NOT towels. And when you get there THE BEDS ARE ALREADY MADE UP FOR YOU. The bungalow is supplied with the basic necessities such as beach chairs (at least 4), a corn hole board, some kids toys and even a spice cabinet for your convenience to utilize during your stay.

All of the kitchen appliances (except the microwave) have been replaced in March of 2024. The refrigerator even has a dual capacity ice maker.

Majestic vistas of the Atlantic Ocean! During the summer, sip on your favorite morning drink and watch the sunrise. In the winter, you could watch the sunrise and the sunset from the ocean-side deck! Of course, you could take a few steps down the boardwalk to the beach and have solitude during the sunrises and sunsets.

Keep the lights off and stargaze at nighttime. Have you ever used the "SkyVue" app on your phone?

Have a modest sailboat or catamaran? Unload/Load once near the pier and leave it between the dunes and the boardwalk during the nighttime while you stay there!

The beach is wide during low tide which provides great opportunities for shelling, walking, or running the beach. And a shower is just a few steps away to rinse off when you get back.

Being that this location is one of the less populated areas of the beach, there is minimal competition to get the ideal location on the surf to set up your "stuff" on the beach.
A great place for games on the beach. When it comes time to get off the beach for the day, all that stuff can be left inside the dunes and near the steps to the boardwalk without bringing it back to the home. Setups can't be any easier!

Do the kids want to putt-putt? Go get ice cream? Go to the pier? It's a short walk to those destinations. A golf cart is not needed.

Want to stay at home and not go out to eat? Downstairs is set up with gas and charcoal grilles and a great place to appreciate happy hours as meals are prepared. We also have a propane burner and a big pot for shrimp boils. It is also a great place to play games (corn hole) if it's raining.

The outside shower is roomy and private.

Extensive living area, 4 bedrooms / 2 baths upstairs. 2 bedrooms / 1 bath downstairs. Sleeps, 13 people. We call one of the downstairs bedrooms the honeymoon suite - this bedroom makes it possible to get away from some of the hustle and bustle if you're there with a bigger crowd.

Decks are on the front and rear of the bungalow. The ocean side decks have gates to keep what's on the decks (kids and family pets) on the decks.

A washer and dryer are supplied downstairs in the storage room.

Ample parking for 7 to 8 cars.

You will receive additional correspondence from me with more info a few weeks before your scheduled arrival. I will send it to your e-mail address.

NOTE: There is a $100 Administrative Fee (per booking) added to the price for renting our bungalow. If you report to the owner (by e-mail, text, or phone call) that you DID NOT bring pets, the $100 administrative fee will be refunded to you after your stay.

Our top Cape Fear area vacation rental home tips and tricks:

When to book & When to go:

• The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early. Reserving your vacation rental six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Summer is the most expensive season in the Cape Fear area area. To find the best value, try shifting your family's Cape Fear area vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, , and greatly reduced traffic.
• Some owners offer special rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines contain coupons for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Planning, selecting, and booking the perfect Cape Fear area rental home:

• Start by having your group agree to vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration you need. NEW Listing, Dog-Friendly, No-Smoking, Ocean Front Cottage, Center of the Island has 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available online. Otherwise, email the host before booking the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• If there's an individual Cape Fear area destination you crave, browse rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .

Some things to know before you go:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent a lot of concerns.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would back home.
• To make certain that damages aren't attributed to your visit, make a record of any problem areas during check in. text the property manager immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a terrific source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a excellent vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
