Rental home tips:

Get the best rental value:

• Summertime is high season in Sunset Beach. To find the best value, change your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer excellent weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers typically offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many rental management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitors guides which will include money-saving deals, either offered directly 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 magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is best for your vacation family.
• If there's a specific Cape Fear area beach you are enamored with, look for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• Some rentals allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask your host about allowable breeds and types before booking.

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• To make sure that damages aren't linked to your family's visit, inspect the property for any problem areas upon check in. Contact the host immediately to document your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent lots of issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers disrupting your peace. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Just before checking out, take a walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
