Are you ready to step Into The Mystic? Recently featured on Season Four of HGTV's Battle on the Beach as Team Alison Victoria's home, you'll adore the designer touches and broad renovations finished in early 2024.

With the beach right at your back door, savor the tranquility of an early morning beach walk where you can catch dolphins playing in the early morning sun or snuggle up on the deck as you get lost in the stars of the midnight sky. The ocean side covered deck is the ideal place to relax in the rocking chairs as you sip an icy cold drink from the sizable ice chest. It has a bar with stools, and a table and chairs. The deck box is outfitted with beach items and toys, to sink your toes into the warm sand and appreciate the ocean breeze. 

Appreciate your morning coffee on the new quartzite counters as you gaze out at the gorgeous ocean view from the picture window above the sink. Munch on some breakfast at the gigantic kitchen island. This beachfront vacation-ready home sleeps eight with two full bathrooms and one half bathroom. The warm and inviting living space makes this home the ideal place for the next family vacation, complete with infant and kid-friendly amenities, or a friend reunion. The upstairs movie room has a 65" T.V. and provides valuable additional space to relax; the sectional within is enormous and comfortable enough for two to take a mid-afternoon nap, or even to utilize as an additional sleeping space.

With four T.V.s, you have access to streaming services like Hulu, Hulu Live, Disney+ and ESPN+. You also have games and activities to keep you entertained as you rest and relax inside. Unwind, renew and spend time with appreciated ones at Into The Mystic.

Guests with allergies should note that although no family pets are allowed for guest stays, dogs may occasionally be present during owner reservations.

Strategies to get the perfect Cape Fear area vacation rental experience:

Sticking to a spending budget:

• Summertime is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Reserve your Cape Fear area rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• The sooner your group can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked very early. Booking your rental 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies frequently offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides contain discounts for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Start by choosing your trip dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Into the Mystic: Family-friendly, Oceanfront Home on Island's West Beach has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available online. If they are not listed, email or call the property owner before you reserve the rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to determine what configuration is suitable for your vacation.
• Visiting for a single event? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• Get the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your . Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
• To make certain that damages aren't linked to your family's stay, make a record of any problem areas when you arrive. E-mail the property manager right away to report any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent lots of problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers bothering your peaceful home. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on great feedback to inspire new bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, 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 property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
