Tricks and tips to get the best Cape Fear area rental experience:

Getting the best value:

• Summer time is high season in the Cape Fear area area. Reserving a rental home in the Spring or Fall is an excellent way to save on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer rate reductions for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides have offers and deals for local tours and attractions.

How to choose the perfect vacation home in Carolina Beach:

• To start, have your group commit to vacation dates and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Anchor Down - Ocean & Canal Views, Near Beach Access, CB Pier, Freeman Park, Outdoor Space, Grill has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible online. Otherwise, call the host before you book the rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to establish which bed configuration is best for your vacation family.
• If there's a particular Cape Fear area beach you simply love, browse rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or applied to your contract.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Add the owner's contact information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To make sure that damages are not attributed to your family's visit, note any problem areas when you arrive. E-mail the property manager immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be respectful. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Protect your property!
• On check-out day, complete a walk-through to confirm you have not forget anything. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out 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.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on great ratings to compel more bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will be thankful you shared your review find their best vacation rental. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
