Tricks and tips to get the optimal Cape Fear area rental home experience:

Find your perfect rental home:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To book the most suitable rental home within budget, we recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at local restaurants, tours, 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 on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• In the Cape Fear area area, The earlier your group can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Reserving your rental six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines have coupons for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select vacation dates and budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. 5BR 5.5BA House-Oceanfront; Ocean, ICW & Lighthouse Views; Sleeps 10 has 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property owner before you reserve the home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to work out which bed configuration is suitable for your family.
• If there's a certain Cape Fear area beach you crave, browse rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the owner about pets before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your smartphone.
• To make certain damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, inspect for any problem areas upon your arrival. Get in touch with the host immediately to report your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents many difficulties.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be an incredible source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• Upon check-out, take a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget any personal items. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take video of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on great ratings to propel new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will will be grateful for your experience find their best vacation rental. 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 reasonably to fix it.
