Our top Vacation rental home tips:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in Bald Head Island. To find the best value, shift your vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm temperatures, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your rental six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Some property management companies offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area area magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides have coupons for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Start by having your family choose dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. EXCEPTIONAL HOME, WALK TO: E BEACH, MIKE'S BITES, SHOAL'S, COMMON & CONSERVANCY has 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the property owner before reserving the property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get information on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Additional considerations:

• Get the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your .
• To make certain that no damages are attributed to your family's visit, inspect the property for any problem areas during arrival. message the host immediately to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a great stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix 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.
