Tricks and tips to get the very best Cape Fear area vacation property experience:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To get the best rental within budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Owners sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites usually offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area area magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines contain discounts for local shops and restaurants.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Choose your vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Private Carolina Beach Retreat with Ocean Views! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property owner before reserving your rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine what is right for your group.
• Is your family looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or might be applied to your contract.

Advice for a great stay:

• Get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your . Put the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make certain damages are not attributed to your family's visit, inspect the property for any problem areas during check in. E-mail the rental manager immediately to document any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent quite a few issues.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental home while you're out. Keep your property safe!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a wonderful vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
