Tips and Tricks to get the optimal vacation rental experience:

Getting the best rental value:

• Booking in Fall or Spring is a good way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• In the Cape Fear area area, The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early. Reserving your rental property six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• 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 price reduction or discount.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area travel guides which will include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning, selecting, and booking the perfect Cape Fear area rental home:

• Choose dates and spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Oceanfront House-Sleeps 8-10 Rec Room and Theater Room has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally available online. If you don't see them listed, call the property manager before reserving the home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly rental. Request details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Make a record of any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be valuable if a dispute arises.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Double-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at departure. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, remember to take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on great ratings to drive more reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
