How to find the best rental home experience:

Getting the most from your rental home budget:

• Summer months are high season in the Cape Fear area area. Booking a rental in Spring or Fall is a great way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area area magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guides contain deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Planning, selecting, and booking your Cape Fear area rental:

• Select a group leader, choose your dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Charming 4 Bedroom Oceanview cottage dog friendly! has 4 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually available online. If they are not listed, call the host before reserving your rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• If there's a certain Cape Fear area destination you crave, search for homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• Add the host's phone number to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Upon check-in, note any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• Re-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at departure. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, remember to take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a excellent time? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
