Pack a picnic and dine while you're there, as you watch the sun set over the ocean.

If adventure is more your thing, why not head over to Oak Island and tour the lighthouse there, or take a striking ferry ride from Deep Point Marina over to Bald Head Island and climb the "Old Baldy" lighthouse for yourself. Appreciate breath-taking vistas of the entire island from the top! Or you can discover the island by foot, bicycle, or by golf cart, the uniquely standard methods of travel on the island.

If you prefer a more calming evening, take a walk along the cozy stores of Historic Southport. Visit the Christmas House. Dine at the famed Provision Company or Fishy Fishy Café, which was featured in the Nicholas Sparks movie, "Safehaven". Then grab an ice cream cone and relax on a swing along the shoreline of Southport Pier and Riverwalk, as you watch the ships go by.

How to book the best rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Cape Fear area area. Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines contain offers and deals for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Narrow your Search:

• First, have your family select the best dates and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Newly renovated Villas minutes from the beach and historic Southport has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is often accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the property manager before you reserve your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a rental that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a certain Cape Fear area destination you long to visit, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you're out. Protect your property!
• Record any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if damages are assessed.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a fantastic source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at departure. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property one final time and scan for damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a excellent time? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
