Tips for getting the best rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Cape Fear area area. To get the best vacation home within budget, we recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular attractions.
• Property management companies sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitor guides which include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose the perfect rental home:

• To start, have your group agree to dates and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration you need. \"Idle Hour\" Family Friendly Retreat has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area rentals search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, email or call the property management company before you book the vacation property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• If there's a certain Cape Fear area beach you are crazy about, look for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More tips for your stay:

• Put the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental while you're out. Keep your property safe!
• During check-in, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• At departure, take a walk-through to make sure you didn't forget any personal items. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on great reviews to drive new reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will will be grateful for your experience find their best vacation home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
