The second downstairs bedroom consists of a queen bed as well as its own private bath. The third bedroom has a double and twin bunkbed with an additional pull-out queen bed and an attached bathroom. There is also a enormous relaxing deck on the main, lower level as well as a roomy screened porch that can be accessed off both the queen and master bedrooms.

The upper deck off the living room is one of the all-time favorite spots where guests can relax on the outdoor couch and seating area or dine at the welcoming table for eight.

Our top Rental property booking tips and tricks:

Find your best deal:

• Reserve your Cape Fear area rental in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies typically offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Many property management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitor guides which include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to select the perfect rental in the Cape Fear area area:

• Start by having your group decide on date ranges and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Welcome to Happy Honu has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available on booking websites. Otherwise, call the host before you reserve the rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to establish what configuration is right for your group.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property management company about pets before booking.

Tips for a fantastic stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your phone.
• At Check-in, note any damages to the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a excellent time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
