Booking the best rental home experience:

Sticking to your spending plan:

• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are booked early. Booking your vacation property up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Booking a rental in Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites typically offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines contain discounts for nearby tours and attractions.

Planning and picking the bestvacation home:

• Start by having your group commit to date ranges and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Oceanfront+Pet-friendly+1st floor+Near North End Pier & Freeman Park has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is commonly available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, call the host before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine what is optimal for your group.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you will need a rental that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Cape Fear area destination you long to visit, keep an eye out for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking

Tips for a wonderful stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home. Store the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent lots of issues.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would at home.
• During check-in, note any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be respectful. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, remember to take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a great vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
