Cape Fear area rental booking tips and tricks:

Getting the most from your spending budget:

• The earlier you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your vacation home six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Cape Fear area area. To find the most suitable rental home within your budget, we recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at Cape Fear area restaurants, tours, and activities.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. 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 local stories, visitors guide magazines contain offers and deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Planning, selecting, and booking your Cape Fear area vacation home:

• To start, have your group commit to dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Spacious & Beautiful 4BR\/2BA Oceanfront Home-Sleeps 12 has 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible online. If you don't see them listed, call the property owner before reserving your home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to establish what is right for your vacation family.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or charges might be applied to your contract.
• If there's an individual Cape Fear area beach you are enamored with, look for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

Tips for your stay:

• Get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many concerns.
• Keep the property locked while you're out! Don't let thieves spoil your holiday.
• Record any issues with the property during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be helpful if damages are assessed.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a great stay? Most rental managers make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable 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 comments.
