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

When to book a Cape Fear area rental & When to go:

• Summertime is high season in Carolina Beach. To book the best rental within budget, we strongly suggest booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• In the Cape Fear area area, The earlier your group can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Booking your vacation home up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Hosts sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides contain discounts for nearby tours and attractions.

• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to book a property that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property managers charge additional pet fees.

During your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Save the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• To make certain damages aren't linked to your family's visit, record any problem areas upon check in. Call the rental 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 valuable.

• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all of your things. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take pictures of the property to record its condition.

If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
