Finding the best Cape Fear area vacation rental experience:

When to go & When to reserve a Cape Fear area rental home:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in the Cape Fear area area. Reserve your vacation home in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies supply Cape Fear area area travel guides which often include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Choose vacation week and spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Stunning Family Getaway - Water Views, Easy Boat Launch has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, call the property management company before reserving the home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out what configuration is suitable for your vacation group.
• If your family is traveling with pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• Looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental

Know before you go:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many problems.
• Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let thieves spoil your family vacation.
• Upon arrival, record any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors disrupting your life at home. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a wonderful time? Many rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective 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 comments.
