Cape Fear area vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

Getting the best rental home value:

• Summer time is high season in the Cape Fear area area. To find the most suitable vacation home within budget, we recommend reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are reserved very early. Booking your vacation rental up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Often, management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitor guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Selecting and booking the right Cape Fear area rental home:

• Select your vacation dates and spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Pet-friendly, fully-fenced yard, minutes to beach has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is almost always available online. If you don't see them listed, contact the property manager before you book the property. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine what configuration is right for your vacation group.
• If there's an individual Cape Fear area beach you are crazy about, search for homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you will need a property that allows animals. Request details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• Add the owner's information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To make sure no damages are attributed to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas when you arrive. message the host immediately to relay any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Employ the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let burglars ruin your trip.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all of your things. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a wonderful vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
