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 appreciate 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).

Tricks and tips to get the perfect vacation rental experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved very early. Booking your rental home six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring months is a great way to save on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Many rental management companies supply Cape Fear area area travel guide magazines which will include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between 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.

Planning, selecting, and booking the perfectvacation home:

• Start by having your group choose dates and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration you need. The Swan • Fully Private Guest Suite has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible online. Otherwise, email the property owner before you reserve the rental. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine what is right for your vacation.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or might be applied to your invoice.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Record any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if there is a dispute.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets 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 great time? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
