Strategies to get the best Cape Fear area vacation property experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Cape Fear area area. To find the largest vacation home for your budget, we suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite Cape Fear area restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Some property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines have discounts for nearby accommodations and attractions.

How to select the perfect vacation rental:

• First and foremost, have your group select date ranges and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Marsh Mellowed by the Sea at Holden Beach, Privated heated pool and beach access has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available online. If they are not listed, reach out to the property owner before booking the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is optimal for your trip.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or applied to your contract.
• Are you visiting for a single event? Try a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .

More tips for your stay:

• Get the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let burglars ruin your holiday.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your family's visit, record any problem areas during check in. Speak to the host right away to document any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an incredible resource to find the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to make sure you've collected everything. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a great stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
