Finding your perfect vacation home:

Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.

Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.

Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.

You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

• Some rentals allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable breeds and types before booking.

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.

• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let thieves ruin your vacation.
• Upon check-in, make note of any issues with the property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.

• Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed everything at departure. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself.

Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will will be grateful for your feedback find their best vacation home. Please be objective.
