Finding the best Cape Fear area rental experience:

Sticking to a budget:

• The earlier you can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked early. Booking your vacation rental six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Book your vacation in Fall or Spring months to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Some owners offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area visitor guide magazines which will include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Finding the best rental:

• Start by selecting your a vacation week and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Historic Carolina Beach Cottage Across from Oceanfront & Screened Porch has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is usually available on booking websites. If not, email or call the property owner before booking the rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you will need a pet-friendly rental. Get details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Cape Fear area attraction you are crazy about, search for properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking

Considerations for your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Protect your property!
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon your arrival. Make contact with the property manager immediately to report any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an incredible source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on good reviews to drive more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
