Our top Cape Fear area vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

Getting the best rental home value:

• Summer months are high season in the Cape Fear area area. Reserve your vacation in Fall or Spring months to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Many management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitor guides which will include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Narrow your rental Search:

• To start, have your family select a vacation week and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family requires. 4BR\/3BA Home - 2nd Row, Ocean Views, Steps to Beach, Pool w\/ Heating, Sleeps 10 has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is often available online. If not, email or call the property management company before you book the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• If there's an individual Cape Fear area beach you crave, search for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly property. Get information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• Get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your . Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas upon check in. Speak to the host immediately to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an incredible resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors 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 shopping?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms 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.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on good reviews to inspire new bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
