How to book the best Bald Head Island rental experience:

When to visit Bald Head Island & When to book:

The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved early. Booking your vacation home six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. 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 your favorite beach.
Owners sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guide magazines have discounts for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Planning and choosing your prefect Cape Fear area rental:

Begin by choosing your vacation dates and a spending budget.
Decide how many beds and the configuration your group needs. Oceanfront, East Beach, Occupancy 12, Four Bedroom Home has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available on booking websites. If not, email the property owner before booking your home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to work out which bed configuration is suitable for your trip.
If your family is traveling with pets, you will need a rental that allows animals. Get information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
If there's an individual Cape Fear area attraction you simply love, browse rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Some things to know before you go:

Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents quite a few issues.
Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are out, just like you would at home.
To make sure damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, inspect the property for any problem areas when you arrive. Contact the rental manager right away to document any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
Be respectful. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
Re-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at departure. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to propel new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. 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 fix it.
