Tips and Tricks to get the optimal vacation rental experience:

Finding your best deal:

• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Booking your Cape Fear area vacation rental in Fall or Spring is a good way to save on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• The sooner you can book, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Reserving your vacation property 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Owners sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local 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 fuel stations. In addition to great articles, travel guides have coupons for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Begin by choosing the best vacation week and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Charming Island Bungalow has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is almost always available on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property management company before you book the rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If there's a certain Cape Fear area attraction you long to visit, keep an eye out for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or charges might be applied to your invoice.

Additional considerations:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your family's visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas when you arrive. Speak to the property manager right away to relay any damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent a lot of difficulties.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected everything. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent feedback to inspire future reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review find their best vacation rental. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
