For the ultimate in coastal relaxation, check in at Chick-Inn of the Sea! Appreciate super simple beach access around 250 feet away from this third-row home. When you’re ready for a break from the sand, your private pool getaway awaits instead. Savor drinks around the firepit as the kids splash the evening away. You can even let Fido romp around the fenced backyard, as this vacation rental accepts one dog weighing up to 50 lbs per stay.

Enter into a bright and welcoming open-concept living space, complete with the whimsical touches and eye-catching art you’ll find throughout the home. Gather together to savor a movie on the wall-mounted TV, which swivels if needed, or bask in the glow of the electric fireplace for peaceful conversation instead. All bedrooms in the home also include a TV for personal entertainment. The modern kitchen supplies all the appliances and cookware you need for preparing fresh local seafood or a favorite recipe from home. A sturdy dining table with bench seating along one side will hold six to eight adults comfortably, and an additional three barstools are available at the close by breakfast bar.

When it’s time to retire for the nighttime, you’ll find two master suites, each with its own private bathroom furnished with a tiled walk in shower. The first master suite overlooks the pool and features a king bed and walk in closet, while the second suite provides a queen bed. An additional guest room with a double bed shares hall access to a full bath with the final sleeping space, the bunkroom. With two twin-over-twin bunk beds and quirky locker storage, kids will appreciate all the fun pops of color.

Outside, listen to the waves as you sip your morning coffee from the covered front deck, complete with a variety of chairs and end tables, or keep a watchful eye on activity in the pool below from the outdoor couch on the back covered deck. On the ground level, your private pool getaway beckons. Lush tropical landscaping helps you feel secluded from the world beyond. Play a fast round of the unique pink flamingo ring toss game, lounge around the pool and soak in the rays or relax around the firepit with S’mores and stories. Savor a meal al fresco at the outdoor table and take advantage of the oh-so-Instagram-able bespoke mural as a backdrop with a quick shot of your culinary adventures!

Bringing your fur-infant along? Please note that dogs are not allowed in the pool and should not be left unattended in the fenced backyard, as all grassy areas there are artificial turf. A pet walking area is located in the front of the home, as well as pet waste elimination bags in a dispenser to make cleaning up after your pooch a breeze.

When you’re ready to head to the beach, you’ll find beach chairs, umbrellas and toys available for your use. You can even rent the optional golf cart included by the property, complete with a parking pass, for an additional $400 per week to keep the sand out of your own car. Plus, supplied bicycles make exploring the island painless, and when you’re ready to embark on an off-island adventure or two (whether heading into Southport to walk along the historic downtown and Cape Fear River or into Wilmington for attractions like Battleship North Carolina), you’ll appreciate the convenience of this location to the Middleton Bridge.

Our top Cape Fear area vacation rental tips:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To find the best value, consider changing your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites typically offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Often, property management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitor guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by having your family select dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family needs. Chick-Inn of the Sea: Enjoy the Private Pool at This Dog-Friendly Third Row Home has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible online. If you don't see them listed, call the property manager before reserving the property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or costs might be applied to your invoice.
• If there's a certain Cape Fear area attraction you long to visit, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Note any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be useful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property a final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a great vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
