Strategies for getting the perfect Cape Fear area rental home experience:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• In the Cape Fear area area, The sooner your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are reserved early. Booking your vacation rental 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Summer months are the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Booking your vacation rental in Fall or Spring months is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines have coupons for nearby shops and restaurants.

• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Heart of Downtown- pet-friendly ILM retreat! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the property owner before you book the property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
