Strategies to get the very best Cape Fear area vacation rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking your Cape Fear area vacation rental in Spring or Fall is a great way to save money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites often offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Many management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitor guide magazines which will include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to select the best rental in the Cape Fear area area:

• Begin by choosing your the best vacation week and a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Beachside Charm! Pool, Spa & 3-Min Walk to Shore has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is usually accessible online. Otherwise, email or call the property owner before you reserve the rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what configuration is optimal for your family.
• Traveling with pets? 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 agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or charges could be applied to your agreement.
• If there's an individual Cape Fear area beach you love, keep an eye out for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Some things to know before you go:

• Add the host's information to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let thieves spoil your family vacation.
• During check-in, note any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible resource to find the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and scan for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a terrific stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
