Tips and Tricks to get the perfect rental home experience:

When to go & When to book:

To get the best value, consider changing your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warm temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early. Booking your vacation home up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines contain coupons for nearby tours and attractions.

How to choose and book your Cape Fear area vacation home:

First, have your group agree to a vacation week and a maximum budget.
Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Secluded 7BR home with EV charger and ocean views! has 7 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before you book your home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches. You'll need to establish what is suitable for your vacation family.
If there's a specific Cape Fear area attraction you long to visit, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .
Some rentals allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the host about pets before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your phone.
Upon arrival, record any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent a lot of issues.
Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let burglars ruin your holiday.
Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Go through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, remember to take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
Leave feedback! Property owners rely on great feedback to compel new bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
