Tips to get the perfect Bald Head Island vacation property experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Reserve your Cape Fear area rental property in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area travel guides which include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, 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.

Narrow your Search:

• First, have your family decide on the best dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Colonel's Cottage is a charming and spacious Maritime Forest retreat! has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available on booking websites. Otherwise, call the property owner before booking the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? Try a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to find a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your phone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Note any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent many problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors bothering your home life. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let crooks spoil your holiday.
• On check-out day, take a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. 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.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to compel future reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will appreciate that you share your review find their best rental home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
