Located between the Eastern Channel of the Intracoastal Waterway and the beach, the vistas will have you flitting from room to room to catch a glimpse from each window.

Walking in, you'll first notice the calming blue wall color contrasts gorgeously with bamboo floors. Wander down the hall to find five total bedrooms on this floor. To the right, you'll come across two rooms with a separate bathroom between them: there is a twin-over-king bunk bed with a trundle in one and a king bed in the other.

A bedroom containing two twin-over-twin bunk beds, one with a trundle, is the only bedroom without balcony access. This bedroom shares a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with another bedroom that features a queen bed. Another bedroom with a king-sized bed features an en-suite bathroom on this floor.

Up the stairs, you'll find the open-concept living space, a great place to enjoy time together as a family. Kings Kraken's well-equipped kitchen provides two fridges in case you came equally well-prepared with ingredients! It also has elegant lighting fixtures and a pretty tile backsplash. The huge dining table seats ten, with four additional chairs at the kitchen island.

The living room has plenty of comfortable seating where guests can mingle and play board games, with a big T.V. to stream your favorite shows. Walk out the door to the oceanfront balcony, where you can sit in the rockers and watch the waves lap against the shore or eat at the patio table with the sound of ocean waves in the background.

The primary bedroom adjacent to the living room has a king bed, windows up to the ceiling and a sliding farm door to the en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet. Down the hall, the other two bedrooms also have king beds, with balcony access overlooking the Eastern Channel. There is a separate bathroom between these rooms.

A very kid-friendly property, Kings Kraken's amenities include a high chair, infant gate and Pack 'n' Play travel crib. There are also kid-proof alarms near the pool to provide added safety for your little ones. The rental comes with an elevator and step-complimentary access bathrooms for those with limited mobility. There is keyless entry and wireless internet access, plus a TV in every bedroom. There is also a washer and dryer, so you're not bringing those sandy towels home! A level 2 EV charger with a dual adaptor is even included and is compatible with all electric cars.

Walk closer to the sand with ease using a personal pathway that leads over the dunes in front of the home. From there, it's a short jaunt across the public beach access area to the pristine beach of The Point. This property is located under half a mile from the Point, a trendy spectacular spot on the island, which is only an eight-min. walk. A mile away is Lonerider Brewpub, a local favorite and a great spot to sip a craft beer while watching boats drift by on the waterway.

Tips and Tricks to get the best Cape Fear area vacation rental experience:

Sticking to your rental budget:

• To get the best value, consider shifting your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. 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 and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• In the Cape Fear area area, The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation property up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers often offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.

If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
