About this Property

• Sleeps 13
• 5 Bedrooms
• 4 Bathrooms
• Private vacation home
• Approximately 2612 square feet

Banana Cabana is one side of a duplex (two sides). It can be rented as one side, or as a "whole". To rent both sides of the property, visit the property page called Salty Banana.

Banana Cabana is a luxury five-bedroom oceanfront property, with extraordinary ocean vistas from the kitchen, living room, master bedroom, and two oceanfront decks. Appreciate a elegant sunrise over the ocean, and throughout the day watch schools of dolphins swim by and flocks of pelicans dive for fish. Stroll out to the wide white-sand beach with direct access from the main living floor.

The home is elegantly decorated to make this your home away from home during your stay. The wide-open floor plan between the kitchen, dining area, and living room, with ample seating, accepts for painless entertaining and quality family time. The well-equipped gourmet kitchen and gas grille make cooking a breeze. Afterward, relax with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine as the sun sets or take a dip in the lighted swimming pool. The home has a private, oceanfront pool and hot tub as well as an elevator.

Conveniently located within one mile is the Kure Beach town center, the famed Kure Beach Fishing Pier, Ocean Front Park with special events all year, Jack Mackerel’s Island Seafood, Big Daddy’s Seafood Buffet, and Freddie’s Italian (since 1940). Or walk up the beach a half mile to the Tiki Bar Pier, a great beach bar on the pier with modest plate seafood items. The home is within two miles of the NC State Aquarium at Fort Fisher, a civil war site, and about the same distance to the Boardwalk in Carolina Beach with live music, weekly fireworks (in season), and dozens of deep-sea fishing boats, eateries, and stores. For a change of pace, take the 30-min. car Ferry at the southern tip of the island to the striking historic town of Southport where many movies have been filmed.

Wilmington is a 25-min. drive away with its exceptional Riverwalk along the Cape Fear River, casual and fine dining, one of the biggest historic districts in the country, and the Battleship North Carolina, open for tours.

Grab your beach chair and a cold drink, and come see it for yourself!

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Cape Fear area rental home experience:

When to reserve a Cape Fear area rental home & When to go:

• The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are reserved early. Reserving your rental home 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Summer is high season in the Cape Fear area area. To get the best value, consider shifting your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer great temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Many management companies supply Cape Fear area area travel guides which include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning and picking a perfect Cape Fear area vacation home:

• Start by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group needs. NF1212A: Banana Cabana: Oceanfront duplex w\/ Private Pool, Hot tub, and Elevator has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is normally accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the property owner before booking the property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You'll need to work out what is suitable for your vacation family.
• 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. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or costs may be applied to your contract.
• If there's an individual Cape Fear area beach you simply love, search for homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Advice for a smooth stay:

• We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let crooks ruin your family vacation.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your family's stay, inspect for any problem areas during check in. E-mail the property manager right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• At departure, complete a final walk-through to confirm you have not forget any personal items. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent feedback to drive more reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review find their best vacation rental. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
