Strategies to get the very best Cape Fear area rental home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Summer time is high season in Carolina Beach. To book the largest rental within budget, we strongly suggest booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area area magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines contain discounts for local shops and restaurants.

Selecting and booking your prefect Cape Fear area vacation home:

• Begin by selecting a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Happy as a Clam, in Carolina Beach has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is normally accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property owner before reserving your home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If there's a certain Cape Fear area destination you love, keep an eye out for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or might be applied to your invoice.

More tips for your stay:

• Add the host's phone number to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To make sure that damages are not linked to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas during check in. Get in touch with the host immediately to relay your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a terrific time? Most rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order 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.
