Tips to get the optimal rental home experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Booking your Cape Fear area vacation rental in Spring or Fall is a great way to save on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is commonly accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the property manager before you book your rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to work out which bed configuration is best for your trip.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly property. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
