How to book the best Cape Fear area rental experience:

Get the most from your spending budget:

• To get the best value, consider changing your vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer excellent temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies often offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Often, rental management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitors guide magazines that include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to choose the perfect rental in the Cape Fear area area:

• Choose vacation week and maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Deacon on Dolphin! Quaint 3rd Row Beach House with Ocean Views! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is generally available on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before you book your home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish which bed configuration is right for your family.
• Are you visiting for a single event? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you will need a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Tips for your stay:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
• To make sure that no damages are attributed to your stay, make a record of any problem areas during arrival. Make contact with the host right away to document any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a 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 manager is not available, remember to take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to inspire future reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
