Tips and Tricks for getting the best rental experience:

Get the best rental home value:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. To book the largest rental for your budget, we recommend reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, travel guides have coupons for local accommodations and attractions.

How to select the best vacation home:

• Select vacation dates and spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Karen's Island Retreat-Oceanwalk 7204 Coastal Vacation Resorts has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available on booking websites. If not, reach out to the property manager before booking the home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what bed configuration is suitable for your vacation group.
• If there's a specific Cape Fear area beach you crave, keep an eye out for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or charges applied to your agreement.

Some things to know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Save the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• During arrival, document any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would at home.
• At departure, take a final walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent ratings to stimulate future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your review find their best rental home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
