Tips for getting the best rental experience:

Get the best rental value:

• The earlier you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early. Reserving your rental 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To book the largest rental within budget, we recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at Cape Fear area restaurants, beaches, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides have coupons for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Planning, picking, and booking the right Cape Fear area rental:

• First and foremost, have your family agree to vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Oceanfront 4BR 2 Story Duplex with Private Beach Access has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, contact the host before you reserve your rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish what is optimal for your vacation family.
• If your family is traveling with pets, search for a rental that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Cape Fear area beach you are enamored with, keep an eye out for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking

Have a fantastic stay:

• Add the property manager's contact information to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent quite a few issues.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would back home.
• To make sure damages are not attributed to your stay, make a record of any problem areas during arrival. text the host immediately to record any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at departure. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a fantastic time? Many rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
