Tips and Tricks to get the best Cape Fear area rental experience:

Sticking to a rental home budget:

• The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Reserving your vacation rental six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• To get the best value, try shifting your family's Cape Fear area vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer excellent weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. 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? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies typically offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Many management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitors guide magazines which often include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Narrow your Search:

• Choose your vacation week and spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Just For The Shell of It! has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available online. If they are not listed, contact the host before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to establish what is suitable for your vacation.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or might be applied to your agreement.
• If there's an individual Cape Fear area attraction you are enamored with, browse rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking

Some things to know before you go:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let burglars spoil your vacation.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your family's stay, inspect for any problem areas during arrival. Get in touch with the property manager right away to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• At departure, take a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, remember to take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on great reviews to stimulate new bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
