Rental property booking tips:

Find your perfect vacation home:

Summer is the most expensive season in the Cape Fear area area. To find the most suitable rental home within your budget, we recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter 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 discounts are available for your family before you book.
Property managers often offer their guests an option to add vacation 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 any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides have offers and deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Finding the best rental:

To start, have your group agree to the best dates and a maximum budget.
Note the number bedrooms and the configuration you need. 4BR\/2BA Home - 2nd Row, Ocean Views, Walk to Beach, Firepit Sleeps 8 has 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the property manager before booking the property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
If there's an individual Cape Fear area attraction you crave, keep an eye out for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.
If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly rental. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Advice for a great stay:

Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your visit, record any problem areas during arrival. Call the rental manager right away to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would've never otherwise known!
Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would back home.
When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Record a video to document the condition of the property.
Leave feedback! Property owners rely on good ratings to inspire future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
