How to get the best vacation home experience:

Sticking to a rental home budget:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Cape Fear area area. To find the best value, consider shifting your family's Cape Fear area trip dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer great temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area visitors guide magazines which include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Filter your rental search:

• To start, have your group commit to trip dates and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Figure Eight Island\/Gorgeous Sunsets Overlooking Sound With Deep Water Dock has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the property manager before booking the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• Some rentals allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property manager about your furry family members before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your family's visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas during arrival. E-mail the rental manager right away to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors disrupting your peaceful home. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let crooks spoil your holiday.
• Upon check-out, take a walk-through to confirm you have not leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Most rental managers make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct 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 feedback.
