Cape Fear area rental property booking tips and tricks:

Sticking to your budget:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking your Cape Fear area vacation rental in Spring or Fall is an excellent way to save money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have discounts for nearby tours and attractions.

• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Hobbs Realty - Enjoy the beautiful views from \"Shell Shocked,\" a pet-friendly, oceanfront home. has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is generally accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You will need to determine what is optimal for your family.
• Some properties allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the property manager about pets before booking.
• If there's a specific Cape Fear area attraction you long to visit, keep an eye out for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking

Know before you go:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Add a note with the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent lots of issues.
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
• To make sure damages are not attributed to your visit, inspect the property for any problem areas upon check in. Speak to the host right away to document any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on great feedback to propel more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience find their best rental home. Be fair with your review.
