Our top Rental home tips and tricks:

Get the most from your budget:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking a rental in Spring or Fall is an excellent way to save money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides have offers and deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Filter your rental search:

• Choose your vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Salty Dog-a block from the beach has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible on booking pages. If not, email the property manager before you book your rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Some properties allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property management company about your furry family members before booking.
• If there's a particular Cape Fear area attraction you love, browse rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

Considerations for your stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. Put the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let thieves spoil your vacation.
• Record any damages to the property during check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if a dispute arises.
• Be respectful. Often, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on great reviews to inspire more bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
