As this home is only an estimated two-min. walk to the beach, it's a Shore Thing that you'll appreciate how convenient this rental is to the shores of the Atlantic. Located on Dolphin Drive, this third-row home's location is a happy mix of a coastal hideaway and a welcoming neighborhood. Appreciate riding bicycles on the peaceful street during a sunny afternoon or listening to the sound of birds and ocean waves as you sip your morning coffee on the covered porch.

This home has a fenced-in yard, so your kids can play with the safety and privacy of a border. Take the whole family and appreciate a meal cooked on the grille on the outdoor picnic table or take a dip in the private pool on those hot summer days. There is an outdoor shower to rinse off after the beach before you hop on the elevator and go up to your room!

The living room contains plenty of comfortable seating for the whole crew. Plenty of natural light ensures a bright and airy feel. The dining room table seats eight and overlooks the water, so you can watch the pelicans soar across the shoreline during mealtimes. There are four additional seats at the bar in the kitchen, which includes all the cooking basics you need for your stay.

There is one king bed and en-suite bath on the upstairs. Downstairs guests will find three bedrooms, including two king beds, one twin over double bunk bed and a twin with a twin trundle. Each bedroom has a TV so guests can split up to watch their favorite shows or movies.

This rental is close to many local stores and eateries. It is a four-min. walk to the Ocean Crest Fishing Pier and Island Way, a striking oceanfront restaurant just beside the pier. Take a short walk to the Sea Biscuit Wildlife Center to watch their striking volunteers rehabilitate our beach birds. There's tons to appreciate at Shore Thing!

How to get the best Cape Fear area vacation property experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To find the most suitable rental home within budget, we recommend booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at Cape Fear area restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Some hosts and property managers offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area area magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines have money saving offers on local accommodations and attractions.

Filter your search:

• Select a group leader, choose your vacation week, and select a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Shore Thing: Home with Ocean and Marsh Views, Private pool and Elevator has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, call the host before reserving your rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to establish what is right for your family.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, search for a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property managers charge additional pet fees.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

Additional considerations:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• During check-in, record any damages to the property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• 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 find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at departure. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a excellent stay? Most rental managers make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
