Bald Head Island vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

Get the best rental value:

• Summertime is high season in the Cape Fear area area. To find the best value, consider changing your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. 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 family and friends at the beach.
• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved early. Booking your vacation home up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your group qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area travel guide magazines which include special offers, 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 and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

• Start by choosing your trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration you need. Newly Remodeled - Secret Gem, Wooded, Private, Close to Beach, Market & BHI Club has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally available on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property manager before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You'll need to determine what bed configuration is suitable for your vacation.
• If there's a specific Cape Fear area destination you long to visit, look for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your group is bringing pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your stay, make a record of any problem areas during arrival. Get in touch with the host immediately to record any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• Just prior to departing, complete a walk-through to make sure you have not forget any personal items. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent feedback to stimulate future reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience find their best vacation home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
