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

Getting the most from your rental home budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Book your rental property in Fall or Spring to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines contain discounts for local accommodations and attractions.

Planning, selecting, and booking your prefectrental:

• Start by choosing the best vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. A Sloth's Retreat: Beach Home with Private Pool, Game Room and More! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible on booking websites. If not, reach out to the host before reserving the property. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish which bed configuration is right for your family.
• Are you visiting for a single event? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or costs could be applied to your contract.

During your stay:

• We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas upon your arrival. Call the rental manager right away to document any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Just prior to departing, take a walk-through to make sure you have not forget any personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a fantastic vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
