Strategies to get the perfect Cape Fear area vacation property experience:

Sticking to a budget:

• The earlier your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early. Booking your rental home up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• Summertime is high season in the Cape Fear area area. Booking a rental in Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local 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 information, visitor guides have discounts for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Planning, selecting, and booking your Cape Fear area rental:

• Start by choosing the best vacation week and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Summertime Special! ROOMY for 10 guests!, Ocean Views, Steps to Beach! Arcade! has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible online. Otherwise, contact the property owner before booking your rental. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You'll need to work out what bed configuration is optimal for your vacation.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Cape Fear area attraction you are crazy about, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .

During your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Add a note with the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent a lot of issues.
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let crooks ruin your trip.
• During check-in, note any issues with the property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be respectful. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on great feedback to propel more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
