Our top Rental home tips:

When to reserve a Cape Fear area rental & When to go:

• Summertime is high season in the Cape Fear area area. To book the best rental within your budget, we highly recommend booking in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at Cape Fear area restaurants, tours, and activities.
• The sooner you can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are reserved very early. Reserving your rental up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Many property management companies supply Cape Fear area area travel guide magazines that include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to select the best vacation home in Carolina Beach:

• Start by selecting trip dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. 15% off Summer Reservations Early Bird Special! - Tide and Seek has 7 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible online. If they are not listed, call the host before booking the home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Visiting for a single event? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your group is bringing pets, search for a property that allows animals. Ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

More considerations:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• To make certain damages are not attributed to your stay, make note of any problem areas upon check in. text the rental manager immediately to relay any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be respectful. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Protect your property!
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to confirm you have not forget anything. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Many rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
