Tips to get the very best Cape Fear area vacation rental experience:

Getting the most from your budget:

• Summertime is high season in the Cape Fear area area. Booking your Cape Fear area vacation rental in Fall or Spring is our best tip 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 Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• In the Cape Fear area area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Booking your rental property six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guides contain coupons for local accommodations and attractions.

How to select the best vacation home in the Cape Fear area area:

• To start, have your group decide on dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Pet-friendly, fully-fenced yard, minutes to beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, call the property management company before booking the home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine which bed configuration is best for your family.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or costs might be applied to your invoice.

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Add the host's information to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Document any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if damages are assessed.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, television set or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents quite a few difficulties.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a terrific vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your property and/or host was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
