Tips for getting the best Cape Fear area vacation home experience:

Find your perfect rental home:

• The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are booked early. Booking your rental up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. Reserve your Cape Fear area rental home in the Spring or Fall to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Some hosts offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area visitor guides which include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the property 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.

Planning, picking, and booking your prefect Cape Fear area rental home:

• 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. Carefree by the Sea…. only 3 blocks from the BEACH! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available online. If not, contact the property management company before booking your rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly property. Request details on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a specific event or attraction? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

More considerations:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• 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.
• Note any damages to the property during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your home life. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• At departure, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a wonderful stay? Many rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
