Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect Bald Head Island vacation property experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Summer time is high season in the Cape Fear area area. To get the largest rental within budget, we suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides contain deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Planning, selecting, and booking the perfectrental home:

• Select a group lead, choose your trip dates, and select a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Marsh Madness at Timbercreek 18A has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available online. If they are not listed, email the host before you reserve the property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to establish what is right for your family.
• Are you visiting for a single event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly rental. Request information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

Tips to have a fantastic stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Add a note with the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be valuable if damages are assessed.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent quite a few problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors disrupting your peace and quiet. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• Double-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed everything on check-out day. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on good feedback to propel new reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience find their best vacation home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
