Finding the best vacation property experience:

When to book & When to go:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Reserve your vacation home in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful 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 on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Many property management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitors guide magazines that include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Start by choosing your the best vacation week and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Walking Distance to the Beach 2 Bed 1 Bath Beach Cottage on beautiful Oak Island has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area rental home search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is generally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the property management company before you book your home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to establish what is optimal for your vacation group.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge additional pet fees.

Tips to have a wonderful stay:

• Add the host's phone number to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Record any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if damages are assessed.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a 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 fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• At departure, take a final walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent reviews to stimulate future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
