This rental is located in close proximity to the beach, Ocean Grille and Tiki Bar, Granny's Kitchen, Vinny's Pizza, and Fun Time Ice Cream. Head north a few blocks closer to downtown Carolina Beach, and you'll find the boardwalk area with eateries, bars, amusement park rides, and even the famed Britt's Doughnut shop. The town typically offers fireworks and complimentary outdoor movies on Friday nights during the summer time, or you may even see a Netflix production being filmed! A few miles to the south is the town of Kure Beach, which features a great fishing pier, superb dining options, and a great playground with a disc golf course. Fort Fisher is located just south of Kure; the live oaks near the fort are the ideal place to watch the sunset and the NC Aquarium is not to be missed! There is also a ferry past the aquarium where you can take a 30-min. boat ride to the town of Southport, home of many historical sites and films (eg, I Know What You Did Last Summer).

Linens are supplied: We supply towels, wash clothes and beach towels. The bedrooms all have their own blankets, pillows and sheets supplied. (1 set per room) This is a giant savings from what most linen companies charge and you'll appreciate the move in ready convenience we offer.

Tricks and tips to get the optimal Cape Fear area vacation rental experience:

Find your perfect rental:

• To find the best value, consider shifting your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer excellent weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic.
• In the Cape Fear area area, The earlier you can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved early. Booking your vacation home up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area visitors guides which include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Finding the perfect rental:

• Select vacation week and maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. 3BRS, Walk to beach, Beautiful views! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is often available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property owner before reserving the vacation home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Visiting for a single event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and some do not. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask your host about your furry family members before booking.

Tips for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Document any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if a dispute is filed.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers disrupting your home life. Employ 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!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected everything. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and look for damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a terrific time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
