Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Cape Fear area vacation home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• In the Cape Fear area area, The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation property six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Summer months are high season in Oak Island. To get the best value, consider changing your vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. 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? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Often, property management companies supply Cape Fear area area travel guides which will include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

• Select dates and budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. 4BR\/3.5BA House, 2nd Row with Water Views, Dog Friendly, Sleeps 11 has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property owner before you reserve the property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to work out what bed configuration is optimal for your trip.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you will need a rental that allows animals. Get details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a certain Cape Fear area beach you long to visit, keep an eye out for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

Tips for a smooth stay:

• Add the host's phone number to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.

• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• During arrival, record any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be an incredible resource to find the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a great time? Many rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
