Tips to get the perfect rental home experience:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Cape Fear area area. To book the most suitable vacation home within budget, we highly recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at popular Cape Fear area attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, management companies supply Cape Fear area area travel guides that include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by selecting your vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group requires. Two Minutes to the Ocean sleeps 4 has 2 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally accessible on booking pages. If not, contact the property owner before you book the property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to establish what configuration is best for your vacation family.
• If there's a certain Cape Fear area beach you love, look for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly property. Get information on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Tips for a fantastic stay:

• Get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your . Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• Upon arrival, document any damages to the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent quite a few difficulties.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a terrific source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Just before checking out, take a walk-through to confirm you have not forget anything. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms 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 wonderful stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
