Tricks and tips to get the best vacation property experience:

How to get the best value:

• Summer is high season in the Cape Fear area area. Book your Cape Fear area rental property in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property management companies frequently offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guides contain deals for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to choose and book yourrental home:

• First and foremost, have your group choose dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Pool, private beach access, kid friendly has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is commonly accessible on booking websites. If not, reach out to the property owner before reserving your home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You will need to work out what is best for your vacation family.
• Visiting for a specific event? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or charges might be applied to your invoice.

More tips for your visit:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• To make sure damages aren't attributed to your stay, note any problem areas during arrival. Speak to the rental manager right away to report any damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents lots of issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your peace and quiet. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would've not 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 enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed everything at departure. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
