Our top Cape Fear area rental booking tips and tricks:

How to get the best rental value:

• Summertime is high season in Southport. To find the most suitable rental for your budget, we suggest reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines contain deals for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Selecting and booking the right Cape Fear area rental:

• Select vacation dates and max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Farmhouse - 5 miles to the beach has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, contact the property owner before you book the rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to determine what is suitable for your vacation family.
• Visiting for a specific event? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or charges applied to your agreement.

Advice for a terrific stay:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• To make sure that no damages are linked to your family's visit, make note of any problem areas upon your arrival. Contact the rental manager right away to report your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors bothering your peaceful home life. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let thieves ruin your family vacation.
• Upon check-out, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a great time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
