Tips for getting the best rental experience:

When to book a Cape Fear area rental home & When to go:

• Summer months are high season in the Cape Fear area area. To get the best vacation home within budget, we highly recommend reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation home six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides contain offers and deals for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Selecting the best vacation rental:

• Start by choosing trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Moons on Mackerel - Short walk to beach & tiki bar! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually accessible on booking websites. If not, email or call the property owner before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to establish what configuration is best for your vacation.
• If there's a certain Cape Fear area destination you long to visit, keep an eye out for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or costs might be applied to your invoice.

Additional considerations:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• During check-in, document any damages to the property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your peace and quiet. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let burglars ruin your vacation.
• When it's time to leave, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, remember to take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on good feedback to inspire new reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
