How to get the best vacation rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• In the Cape Fear area area, The sooner your group can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved very early. Booking your rental home six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Summer is the most expensive season in the Cape Fear area area. Booking your vacation home in Fall or Spring months is a good way to save on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides contain deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Select vacation week and max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom 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.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is normally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the property management company before booking the property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is best for your vacation family.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or charges may be applied to your agreement.
• If there's a certain Cape Fear area destination you crave, look for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.

Tips for your stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you're out! Don't let burglars ruin your vacation.
• At Check-in, record any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Just before checking out, take a walk-through to confirm you didn't leave anything behind. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on great ratings to drive more bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, 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 owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
