The Pink Cottage started as a fishing shack in 1955, the year after hurricane Hazel. In 1968 the 2 bedrooms and a bathroom were added. Also the back porch was enclosed and the kitchen was added including a sizable deck facing the water. In 2021 the shack was completely modernized and became The Pink Cottage. An enclosed outside shower with hot and cold water was added. The kitchen is entirely furnished including a dishwasher. The pink bungalow overlooks Montgomery Slough with its tidal creek where at low tide the many species of birds feed, at high tide watch for the dolphins. You may access the Slough at 17th Place West where you can catch your own shrimp, crab, or just discover the marsh with all its ample life. You can also launch your kayak from this access. You don't have to worry about beach parking - it is just a short walk to the beach.

Our top Cape Fear area rental booking tips and tricks:

Finding the best value:

• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked early. Booking your rental property up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Cape Fear area area. To get the best rental within budget, we recommend reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at Cape Fear area restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Some hosts offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Often, management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitors guide magazines which include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, 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 shops and grocery stores.

Selecting the best rental home in the Cape Fear area area:

• Begin by choosing your trip dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group needs. The Pink cottage on West Beach, water front , short walk to beach has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible online. If they are not listed, reach out to the property manager before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine what bed configuration is best for your vacation group.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• If there's an individual Cape Fear area beach you crave, look for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

Considerations for your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Record any damages to the property during check in, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if there is a dispute.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a fantastic time? Most rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address 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.
