This four-bedroom, 4.5-bath getaway, located in the Maritime Forest of Bald Head’s sought-after Cape Fear Station, is charmingly located just mins. from the beach, the Conservancy, Cape Fear Commons and the Shoals Club.

Down a peaceful, wooded lane, this property charms with curb appeal from its white picket fence to its arbored drive and double porch façade. When you step up onto the first level's covered porch, you’ll want to linger and rock as you appreciate the ocean’s serenade and enchanting birdsong. Inside this reverse floor plan, the entry welcomes with warm heart-of-pine floors and elegant wainscoting. To the right is a nautically-themed suite furnished with a Full and a Twin. Behind its pocket door is a full bath ensuite with a tub/shower. Down the hall, a bright Queen suite is appointed with a four poster bed and mirrored armoire. It also has its own private bath. At the end of the hall, another Queen suite, with two closets and its own full bath, accesses a peaceful back screened porch. This is the ideal spot for morning coffee wildlife watching or a salty-breeze afternoon nap. This floor also homes the laundry, a hall entrance to the screened porch and egress to the home’s garage, where two golf carts (a six- and a four-passenger) are stored for guests’ use.

Upstairs, the open floor plan’s vaulted ceiling makes the most of all the sunshine coming in from four sides of windows. The cavernous living area is anchored by a decorative fireplace and provides entry to both the back screened dining porch and the home-length covered front porch. The close by granite drink station is conveniently located for calming refreshments inside or out. The adjacent dining space offers a table for eight with treetop vistas. Dine here or at the neighboring breakfast bar. The chef’s kitchen features granite counters, stainless appliances, a double sink and plenty of storage cabinets. Close by is a half bath. Don’t miss the King Owner’s Suite also tucked onto this floor. Plan to be indulged with a spa-like bath, enormous closet and private screened-porch access. Once on that screened porch, it’s just a short climb up the spiral staircase to the rooftop deck and its lavish vistas. To feel “over the moon” about your next vacation, you’ll want to stay at Moonview.

How to find the best rental home experience:

Get the most from your vacation rental budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To book the most suitable rental home within budget, we suggest booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at Southport restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, property management companies supply Southport area travel guide magazines that include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to pick the best vacation home in the Southport area:

• First and foremost, have your family decide on vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Gaze at the the sunrise and sunset from Moonview's rooftop deck! has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is usually available online. Otherwise, reach out to the property manager before you book your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If there's a specific Southport destination you long to visit, keep an eye out for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or charges applied to your contract.

Additional considerations:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your .
• During arrival, record any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your quiet neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let burglars spoil your trip.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on great feedback to stimulate more reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
