DISCLAIMERS ABOUT THE REEL BEACH THERAPY:

We are a 1,250sq. ft 1-story beach bungalow with tons of appeal, which I am sure from time-to-time will have some minor imperfections. We are not a luxury stay nor do we intend to be, our goal is to be a comfortable, simple and cozy so you have a fun and calming vacation!

Our cleaner does an gorgeous job of cleaning but given we are dog friendly as our property is, and the fact that we are humans there is a possibility of a human error, if there is an issue during your stay let us know and they will come back to address it!

We do not have any control over things that happen outside our property lines or the weather.

The host will be available through phone, text and e-mail. In case of an emergency a local team member can assist in person.

Tips to get the perfect rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Summer time is high season in the Cape Fear area area. To find the best rental within your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular Cape Fear area attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• In the Cape Fear area area, The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Reserving your rental home up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property managers often offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guides contain coupons for local shops and restaurants.

Planning and choosing a perfect Cape Fear area rental home:

• Begin by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Reel Beach Therapy Pet Friendly QUIET Neighborhood has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available on booking websites. If not, email or call the property owner before you reserve your rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine what is right for your vacation.
• Visiting for a single event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental
• If your family is bringing pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly property. Request details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• Document any issues with the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are helpful if damages are assessed.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of problems.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent feedback to inspire future bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your review find their best vacation home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
