Tips and Tricks to get the optimal rental home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking your vacation home in Fall or Spring months is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Some hosts offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Booking websites typically offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area travel guides which often include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Selecting the best rental:

• Start by selecting your vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family requires. NEW Sugar Plum in Oak Island, Custom home with privated heated pool has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible online. If you don't see them listed, contact the property manager before you book the vacation property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to work out what configuration is best for your vacation group.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to find a rental that allows animals. Request information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, property managers charge additional pet fees.
• If there's an individual Cape Fear area beach you love, search for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

More considerations:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your phone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• Upon check-in, document any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental a final time and scan for damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a great vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
