Cape Fear area vacation rental booking tips:

When to book a Cape Fear area rental home & When to go:

• Summer months are high season in Southport. Booking your vacation home in Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area visitors guide magazines which include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Selecting the best vacation rental:

• Begin by selecting your trip dates and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Serenity in Southport. Family sized home. Pet friendly! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is normally accessible online. If you don't see them listed, call the property owner before you book your rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to work out what bed configuration is suitable for your group.
• Does your group require special amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must book a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

Have a wonderful stay:

• Store the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make certain damages aren't linked to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas during arrival. Call the property manager immediately to report any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent a lot of issues.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Re-check the property to confirm that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property one final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a excellent vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
