How to find the best vacation property experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Booking your Cape Fear area vacation home in Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. 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 and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property managers typically offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines have deals for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Filter your rental search:

• Begin by selecting your a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Quiet Historic Retreat - 15 minutes from Riverwalk has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area rental home search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property management company before you reserve the rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you will need a pet-friendly rental. Ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your visit:

• Store the host's information in your smartphone.
• Document any damages to the property at check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be valuable if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents a lot of issues.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let burglars spoil your vacation.
• Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a fantastic stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
