Our top Bald Head Island vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

Money saving strategies:

• Summer months are high season in the Cape Fear area area. Reserve your rental property in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• In the Cape Fear area area, The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation home 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines have money saving offers on nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

• Select vacation dates and spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Newly Remodeled - Secret Gem, Wooded, Private, Close to Beach, Market & BHI Club has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly accessible online. Otherwise, email the host before you book the property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to work out what configuration is optimal for your family.

• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• If your family is bringing pets, you must book a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• Add the property manager's contact info to your phone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Note any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if a dispute is filed.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents many problems.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let thieves spoil your trip.
• On check-out day, complete a walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets 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 group have a great vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
