Our top Rental property booking tips and tricks:

Finding the best rental home value:

Summer months are the most expensive season in the Cape Fear area area. To get the best rental within budget, we suggest booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
The earlier you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation home six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
Property managers often offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
Look for your local Cape Fear area area magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guides have coupons for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

How to select the best rental home in the Cape Fear area area:

Choose a group leader, choose your trip dates, and select a budget.
Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. 4BR home on the NE side w\/ pool has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally available online. If not, email the property owner before booking your rental. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
If there's a specific Cape Fear area beach you are crazy about, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a rental that allows animals. Request details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Tips for your stay:

Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the instructions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
To make certain no damages are attributed to your family's stay, inspect for any problem areas upon check in. Get in touch with the host immediately to relay any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent source for finding the best local spots.
Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
Lock your rental while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
Did your group have a fantastic vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
