How to book the best Cape Fear area vacation rental experience:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in Oak Island. Book your Cape Fear area rental home in Spring or Fall to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. 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 and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Some hosts and property managers offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area visitors guide magazines which include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to pick the perfect vacation rental in the Cape Fear area area:

• Begin by selecting potential vacation weeks and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Adorable guest suite ~ only half a mile straight down the street to BEACH has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is commonly accessible on booking pages. If not, call the property manager before reserving the rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Some rentals allow pets, but some don't. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property manager about pets before booking.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Some things to know before you go:

• Get the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of issues.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Upon check-in, record any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• On check-out day, take a final walk-through to confirm you have not forget any personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a excellent vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
