Tips to get the optimal vacation rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Reserve your Cape Fear area vacation home in Fall or Spring months to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• 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 information, visitors guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Narrow your Search:

• To start, have your group select a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Downtown, Near the Beach! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area rental home search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, email the property owner before you reserve the home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you will need a pet-friendly property. Ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Visiting for a specific event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.

Tips to have a wonderful stay:

• Add the owner's phone number to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let crooks ruin your trip.
• Upon check-in, document any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Re-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, remember to take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a great vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
