See the Sea from the comfort of your porch during a stay at this classic beach bungalow just across the street from the Atlantic and loaded with family-friendly amenities! Greet the day as the sun warms your skin from the constructed-in bench seating on the ocean-facing front deck, or relax in the shade of the screened porch as you watch the waves instead.

Recently refreshed for the start of the 2025 season, gather in the living room and settle on the new couch, loveseat or armchair as you watch the game on the 70” Intelligent TV mounted over the electric fireplace. In addition to Roku-equipped TVs in each bedroom, there’s even one in the completely equipped kitchen, so the family chef can keep up with the score as they prepare the catch of the day. Dine together at the sturdy square table set for six, with three additional seats available at the adjacent breakfast bar. Or getaway to the rear screened porch instead, where an outdoor dining table for six accepts you to eat dinner while appreciating the island air.

The master bedroom is furnished with a king bed and features an en-suite bathroom. The roomy step-in shower with elegant teal and grey tile offers a spa-like feel and invites you to relax after a long day of adventure. A second full bathroom with a standard tub/shower combo is located between the remaining two bedrooms. The secondary bedroom is outfitted with a queen bed. The final bedroom, which features a twin-over-double bunk bed, also has plenty of entertainment for the kiddos thanks to a TV/VCR combo and PlayStation 2 and 3 gaming consoles! Kids of all ages are welcome here, with this home providing cabinet locks, outlet covers, toys, Port-a-Crib and two highchairs to make your stay (and the packing process!) anxiety-complimentary.

Additional 2025 updates include new rugs throughout the home, expanded closest doors, new bunkroom furnishings and bladeless ceiling fans with remotes in the master bedroom and bunkroom. Parking is at the rear of the home off of Dolphin Drive and is not allowed at the front of the home, but you’ll find plenty of space for your cars, with covered parking available as well. An enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water as well as an open showerhead under the home make rinsing sand off your little ones after a day on the beach a breeze. And when it is time to hit the beach, a walk of roughly 600 feet takes you from your doorstep to the spot where you’ll lay your towel via the public access point just a few homes down.

How to get the best Cape Fear area vacation home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Booking your Cape Fear area vacation rental 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 better selection of desirable properties.
• In the Cape Fear area area, The sooner you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your vacation rental 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• 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 reduced rate.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines contain coupons for local tours, shops, and attractions.
