Tips to get the perfect vacation rental experience:

Find your perfect rental home:

• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your vacation rental 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• To find the largest rental within your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Hosts sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines have offers and deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Choosing and booking the right Cape Fear area rental home:

• Start by choosing vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group needs. 2nd Row, 6BR, 3BA, Huge Heated Pool, separate Cottage, Dog-Friendly has 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually available on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the property manager before you reserve the rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
• If your group is bringing pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Cape Fear area destination you long to visit, look for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

Know before you go:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, television set or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent a lot of difficulties.
• Lock your rental while you are out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas during arrival. message the rental manager right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Re-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager is not available, take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on good reviews to compel new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing 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 manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
