Vacation rental home tips and tricks:

When to reserve a Cape Fear area rental & When to go:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Booking a rental in Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide 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 local information, travel guides contain deals for nearby tours and attractions.

Filter your rental search:

• Begin by selecting a vacation week and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Blue Heron: Home with Pool, Elevator, Close to Beach has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is commonly accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the property owner before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to book a property that allows animals. Request information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

Tips for a smooth stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
• Upon check-in, make note of any issues with the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an incredible source for finding the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental home while you're out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Double-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed everything on check-out day. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent feedback to stimulate more reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
