Strategies for getting the perfect vacation rental experience:

When to reserve a Cape Fear area rental & When to go:

• Booking your Cape Fear area vacation home in the Fall or Spring is an excellent way to save on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area travel guide magazines which often include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by having your family agree to the best dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Newly renovated Villas minutes from the beach and historic Southport has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually available on booking pages. Otherwise, email the property manager before you book your rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to work out what is best for your vacation group.
• If there's an individual Cape Fear area destination you are crazy about, keep an eye out for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some properties allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask your host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Add the owner's phone number to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To make sure that no damages are linked to your visit, note any problem areas upon your arrival. Call the host right away to report any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent lots of problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your peace. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed everything on check-out day. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, remember to take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to compel future bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best vacation home. Please be objective. 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.
