Rental home booking tips:

Money saving strategies:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To find the best value, consider shifting your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer great temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby accommodations and attractions.

How to choose and book yourvacation home:

• First, have your group select the best dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. ‘B’ by the Sea: comfort and style, essentials included! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is often accessible online. If not, email or call the property owner before you book the rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or costs could be applied to your invoice.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Add the host's contact information to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Upon arrival, record any issues with the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Just prior to departing, complete a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Remember to check dressers, closets, 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 you have a great time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
