Rental booking tips:

Getting the most from your spending budget:

• In the Cape Fear area area, The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked early. Reserving your rental six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Booking a rental in Fall or Spring months is our best tip for saving money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines have deals for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Start by selecting your potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. ??1 Step Away????Oceanfront, Pool, Hot Tub, Private Beach Access?? has 10 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the host before booking your home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask your host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

During your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. Put the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few issues.
• Lock your rental while you're away. Protect your property!
• To make certain that no damages are attributed to your visit, make note of any problem areas during arrival. Make contact with the host right away to document any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on good feedback to compel more bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review find their best vacation home. 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 expeditiously to solve it.
