Date of Stay - April 2021
5 stars! We appreciated the home! It was extremely well organized and decorated. You can tell the owners spent tons of time providing everything you could need. We really liked the beach paintings. We found that the location is ideal, near the beach, the golf course, market, and marina.

N. Edmunds -. 5 STARS

Ferrytale Retreat has all the details covered—and what’s more important than the details? High-end appliances, super-well-appointed kitchen, impeccable décor, a Weber grille, opulent memory foam beds, two great golf carts (but only blocks from a beach access). Great open spaces and comfortable bedrooms—just a excellent place to cool down and mix a margarita after a day in the sun. Highest recommendation here.

How to book the best Cape Fear area vacation home experience:

How to get the best value:

• Summer months are high season in the Cape Fear area area. To find the best value, consider shifting your family's Cape Fear area vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer excellent weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area area magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines have money saving offers on local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Filter your search:

• Select vacation week and max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Spacious Home with Ocean Views from Primary Suite, 4BR, 3BA, SB location has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible on booking pages. If not, email the host before reserving the home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Is your group looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Request details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Additional considerations:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your .
• Note any issues with the property during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are useful if damages are assessed.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many issues.
• Be respectful. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• Upon check-out, take a final walk-through to confirm you didn't leave anything behind. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
