Rental booking tips and tricks:

Get the most from your rental home budget:

• To find the best rental home within your budget, we recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve 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 vacation rental company or host if your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Many rental management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitors guide magazines which include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose and book your prefect Cape Fear area vacation home:

• Choose vacation dates and max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. A Southern Exposure, Beach Front and Lovin’ It! has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible online. If not, reach out to the property manager before you reserve the home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• Is your group looking for special amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must book a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property managers charge additional pet fees.

Advice for a terrific stay:

• Add the host's information to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Record any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are beneficial if damages are assessed.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, remember to take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent ratings to compel more reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
