Rental home tips and tricks:

When to book & When to go:

• Reserve your rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. 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 loved ones at the beach.
• The earlier your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved early. Reserving your rental property 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Some hosts and property managers offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area travel guides which often include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the rental 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.

Filter your search:

• Start by choosing your vacation dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Sand Fiddler Summary: has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, call the property management company before you reserve the rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You will need to work out what is right for your trip.
• If there's a specific Cape Fear area destination you are crazy about, search for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Additional considerations:

• We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• During check-in, note any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent quite a few problems.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal items. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a excellent vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
