Tips for getting the best Cape Fear area vacation home experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• June, July, and August are high season in Sunset Beach. To get the best value, shift your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic.
• The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early. Reserving your vacation rental six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guide magazines have deals for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• First, have your family select dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Dog-friendly coastal home with fenced in yard, close drive to the beach has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally available online. If not, email the host before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to work out what is best for your vacation.
• If there's a particular Cape Fear area beach you are enamored with, look for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your group is bringing pets, you will need a pet-friendly rental. Request details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• Get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your family's visit, make a record of any problem areas during arrival. message the host immediately to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a wonderful vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address 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.
