Rental home booking tips:

Finding the best rental home value:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To find the best rental within your budget, we recommend booking in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular Cape Fear area attractions. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Owners sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides have coupons for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Filter your rental search:

• Select a designated group leader, choose your vacation dates, and select a budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Ocean Views Great Location, Dog friendly Condo, Only 200 steps to Beach, No Parking Fees has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible on booking pages. If not, email the property management company before reserving the rental. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request details on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, property managers charge additional pet fees.
• Are you visiting for a single event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

More considerations for your visit:

• Add the host's information to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents lots of problems.
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let burglars ruin your vacation.
• To make certain damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas during arrival. Make contact with the host right away to document your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great resource to find the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all belongings. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a wonderful stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
