Cape Fear area rental property booking tips and tricks:

When to go & When to book:

• To book the most suitable rental within budget, we strongly suggest booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular Cape Fear area attractions.
• The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved early. Booking your rental home up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides have deals for local shops and restaurants.

Filter your rental search:

• Choose vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. 3BR/2BA Historic Home in the Heart of Downtown Wilmington has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, contact the property management company before you reserve your home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental
• 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. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or charges may be applied to your invoice.

Additional considerations:

• Add the host's information to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To make certain that damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, make a record of any problem areas during arrival. Speak to the rental manager immediately to document any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent lots of difficulties.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
• Just prior to departing, complete a walk-through to make sure you have not forget anything. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was great, they always love to hear your praise. 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 feedback.
