Tips to get the optimal Cape Fear area rental experience:

Sticking to a rental home budget:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Cape Fear area area. Book your vacation in 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 Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Some hosts offer promotional rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Booking websites typically offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines contain coupons for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Make a plan and pick a perfect Cape Fear area rental:

• Start by having your family select date ranges and a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. 138 Tarpon - Pet Friendly Canal Home with a Floating Dock! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area rentals search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the property owner before reserving the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must book a pet-friendly rental. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a certain Cape Fear area destination you crave, browse rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

Additional considerations:

• Get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. Store the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Record any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if damages are assessed.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• On check-out day, take a final walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a great vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
