Vacation rental tips and tricks:

Get the best value:

• Summer months are high season in the Cape Fear area area. To find the most suitable vacation home within budget, we suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• The sooner you can book, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Booking your vacation home up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, rental management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitor guide magazines which include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Filter your search:

• Choose a group leader, choose your trip dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Holden Beach House w\/ Boat Dock: Steps to Beach! has 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, contact the host before you reserve your home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish which bed configuration is suitable for your vacation.
• Visiting for a specific event or attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your group is traveling with pets, search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• Put the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Make a record of any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if damages are assessed.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many problems.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• On check-out day, complete a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget any personal items. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a excellent time? Most rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
