Finding the best vacation property experience:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To find the best rental within your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite 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 on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Some hosts and property managers offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer renters an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines have money saving offers on nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Selecting the best vacation rental:

• Start by choosing your the best vacation week and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Short walk to the beach Dog friendly too! Docking for boaters! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is often available online. If not, call the property owner before booking the home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your group is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly rental. Get information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Considerations for your stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Record any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be valuable if there is a dispute.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors disrupting your home life. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Re-check the property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at departure. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and look for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager is not available, remember to take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a great time? Most rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
