Our top Cape Fear area rental home booking tips and tricks:

Cost saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Cape Fear area area. Booking in Fall or Spring months is a great way to save on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best properties are booked early. Reserving your rental property six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies typically offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines have deals for local tours and attractions.

Planning and choosing the perfect Cape Fear area vacation home:

• Begin by choosing trip dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Oak Island Retreat - Ranch with Screened Porch has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible online. Otherwise, email the property manager before booking the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
• If there's a particular Cape Fear area attraction you simply love, look for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.
• If your group is traveling with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• Put the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make sure damages aren't linked to your visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon your arrival. E-mail the host right away to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents lots of concerns.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Keep your property safe!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a great time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
