How to get the best Cape Fear area rental experience:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Reserve your Cape Fear area vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• In the Cape Fear area area, The earlier your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved early. Booking your vacation home 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Some owners offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Property management companies often offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitor guides contain discounts for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Planning, selecting, and booking a perfect Cape Fear area rental:

• Start by choosing a vacation week and a budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration you need. Ocean-View 'Sea Gem' Bungalow: Steps to Beach! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is usually accessible online. If you don't see them listed, contact the property management company before reserving the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If there's a certain Cape Fear area beach you are enamored with, keep an eye out for properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or charges may be applied to your invoice.

More considerations for your visit:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
• During check-in, record any issues with the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers disrupting your peace and quiet. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. 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?
• Keep the property locked while you're out! Don't let burglars spoil your holiday.
• Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• 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 excellent reviews to drive new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
