Tricks and tips for getting the best Cape Fear area rental experience:

Get the best rental home value:

• Summer months are high season in Carolina Beach. To find the best value, consider changing your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer excellent weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides have deals for nearby tours and attractions.

Finding the perfect vacation home:

• Select vacation dates and budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Rates reflect 20% discount! Bonito Breeze has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area rental home search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible online. If they are not listed, contact the property manager before reserving your home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is right for your trip.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or costs may be applied to your invoice.

During your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your phone.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, inspect the property for any problem areas during check in. Speak to the property manager immediately to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your home life. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• On check-out day, complete a walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, remember to take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on great feedback to drive new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review find their best vacation home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
