Tips to get the best vacation home experience:

Sticking to your rental budget:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Cape Fear area area. Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring is our favorite way to save money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties.
• Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitors guides have discounts for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Narrow your Search:

• Begin by selecting your vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. 3BR\/2BA Historic Home in the Heart of Downtown Wilmington has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area vacation rental search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the property owner before reserving the property. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to establish what is suitable for your family.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly property. Get details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific Cape Fear area attraction you crave, look for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking

Tips for your stay:

• Get the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent lots of concerns.
• Lock your rental home while you are away. Protect your property!
• Make a record of any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible resource to find the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
