Our top Rental home tips:

When to go & When to reserve a rental home:

• Book your rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter 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 your favorite beach.
• In the Cape Fear area area, The earlier you can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked early. Booking your rental property up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, property management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitor guides that include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Make a plan and pick a perfectrental:

• Start by having your group decide on the best dates and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Downtown Charmer 1 is just a 10 min walk to the river has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the property owner before you reserve the rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• If there's a specific Cape Fear area attraction you long to visit, search for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before booking
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or charges may be applied to your contract.

More tips for your stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Note any issues with the property at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of problems.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent resource to find the best local beaches.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Upon check-out, take a final walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
