Tricks and tips to get the perfect Cape Fear area vacation property experience:

Sticking to your rental home budget:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To book the most suitable rental home within budget, we recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular Cape Fear area attractions.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area area magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guides have money saving offers on nearby shops and restaurants.

Planning and picking your prefectrental home:

• Choose your vacation week and spending budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Are we there yet? :Gorgeous Modern Home on Waterway has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is often available on booking websites. If not, call the host before reserving the property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• Are you bringing the family pet? 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 might be applied to your contract.
• If there's a certain Cape Fear area destination you simply love, browse rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home. Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent lots of problems.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your family's visit, make a record of any problem areas during arrival. message the property manager right away to record any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your peace. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Double-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and scan for damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a great vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
