Tips and Tricks for getting the best Cape Fear area rental experience:

Finding the best rental home value:

• Summertime is high season in the Cape Fear area area. To get the best value, change your vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• The sooner you can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved very early.
