Finding the best Cape Fear area vacation home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Reserve your rental home in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• The sooner your group can book, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation property six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Some owners offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Often, management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitor guides which will include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Choosing and booking yourrental home:

• Choose vacation dates and budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Cabana Boy: Budget-friendly Oceanfront House on West Beach has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the host before you book the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You will need to determine what is suitable for your group.
• If there's a particular Cape Fear area attraction you crave, search for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or costs could be applied to your agreement.

Tips for a wonderful stay:

• Put the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make sure damages aren't attributed to your stay, inspect the property for any problem areas during arrival. Call the rental manager immediately to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your peace. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let thieves ruin your vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all of your things. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on great reviews to propel new bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best rental home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
