WE _ DO_NOT_RECOMMEND_THIS_STAY_IF_
-Sharing a wall is uncomfortable to you.This listing is COMPLETELY closed off but still attached to our home. If you are looking for a traditional Airbnb experience we would adore to have you. If you are looking for additional privacy we suggest booking an entire apartment or bungalow. The door connecting to our portion of the home always remains closed and locked so you have full privacy during your stay.

We live in the main portion of the home with our two rescue pups ( Genevieve our Great Pyrenees and Sapphira our St. Bernard Mix ).Our dogs (sometimes) bark, (sometimes) we get them excited to go places and just be the pups they are, and (sometimes) they rough home. Because of the nearness of the guest suite to the home you might also hear the sound of us talking or other day to day activities. We keep normal family hours (7am-9pm - getting ready for work usually falls within the early hours of 7-9am).

Getting the best vacation property experience:

Get the most from your rental home budget:

• Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring is a good way to save money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area visitor guides that include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Choosing the best vacation home in the Cape Fear area area:

• Select a group lead, select your vacation week, and choose a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. The Swan • Fully Private Guest Suite has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is regularly available on booking pages. Otherwise, email or call the host before reserving the rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you will need a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property managers charge additional pet fees.

Know before you go:

• We recommend storing the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your stay, record any problem areas upon check in. Contact the host right away to document your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic source for finding the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Protect your property!
• Upon check-out, complete a walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on great reviews to propel future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
