Strategies to get the best Cape Fear area rental experience:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

• The earlier your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation property six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Reserve your Cape Fear area rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the base booking 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 charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area visitor guide magazines which include coupons, 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 grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to choose the best rental home:

• Select your vacation dates and budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group requires. Pet friendly Leeward Cottage: Only a Few Steps to the Beach has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible on booking websites. If not, email or call the property management company before you reserve your home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your group is traveling with pets, search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get information on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, 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 required amenities are available and included before booking

Have a great stay:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents quite a few difficulties.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are out, just like you would at home.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your family's visit, inspect the property for any problem areas when you arrive. message the property manager immediately to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent ratings to inspire new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will will be grateful for your feedback find their best vacation home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
