Tips and Tricks to get the optimal rental home experience:

When to visit Bald Head Island & When to book:

• The sooner your group can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved early. Reserving your rental property up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Booking your Cape Fear area vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is one of our best tips for saving money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have offers and deals for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Narrow your Search:

• Choose your vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration you need. Following Seas is a Oceanfront 5BR\/5BA retreat for families of all sizes! has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is almost always available online. Otherwise, reach out to the property manager before you reserve the property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some don't. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the property manager about pet restrictions before booking.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

Tips to have a fantastic stay:

• Get the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of difficulties.
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let burglars spoil your vacation.
• During arrival, note any damages to the property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors bothering your peace and quiet. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Just before checking out, take a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget anything. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
