How to book the best Cape Fear area rental home experience:

How to get the best value:

• Summer is high season in the Cape Fear area area. To find the most suitable rental home for your budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at Cape Fear area restaurants, beaches, and activities.
• The sooner you can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked early. Booking your vacation property six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• 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 group qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area visitors guides which will include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Filter your rental search:

• First, have your group decide on a vacation week and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Holden Beach House w\/ Boat Dock: Steps to Beach! has 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible online. If they are not listed, email or call the property management company before booking your home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
• Visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a rental that allows animals. Request information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some hosts charge additional pet fees.

Tips for your stay:

• We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Make a record of any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if a dispute is filed.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all belongings. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on good reviews to stimulate future reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
