Tips and Tricks to get the very best vacation home experience:

May, September, and October offer pleasant weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.

Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
