Tips for getting the best Cape Fear area vacation property experience:

Money saving strategies:

• To find the best value, change your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer great weather, , and greatly reduced traffic.
• The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are reserved early. Reserving your vacation rental up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Many rental management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitors guides that include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Select vacation week and maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Perfect Downtown Location / Unique Historic Charm / Modern Updates has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is generally available online. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before booking the rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to establish what configuration is suitable for your group.
• If there's a certain Cape Fear area destination you crave, look for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some rentals allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

• Get the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• Upon check-in, record any issues with the property and immediately alert the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed everything at departure. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
