How to find the best rental experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Booking in Fall or Spring months is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines have money saving offers on nearby shops and restaurants.

How to pick the best vacation home:

• Begin by selecting potential vacation weeks and a budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family requires. Southern Gem- Centrally Located-10 min to downtown or the beach! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the property owner before you reserve the home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Does your group require particular amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• Some rentals allow pets, but others don't. 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.

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your smartphone.
• To make sure no damages are linked to your family's visit, inspect the property for any problem areas when you arrive. text the property manager right away to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, television set or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many issues.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let burglars ruin your vacation.
• Re-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a great time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
