Getting the best vacation home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season in Carolina Beach. Reserve your rental property in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitors guide magazines which include money-saving offers, either offered directly 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 gas stations and shopping centers.

Choosing and booking a perfect Cape Fear area rental home:

• Select vacation dates and spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. SL1501U: Starfish Cottage Upper: Oceanfront, Views, Dog Friendly has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible online. If they are not listed, email or call the property manager before you book the property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine what is optimal for your vacation.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a property that allows animals. Request details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge additional pet fees.
• If there's an individual Cape Fear area destination you crave, look for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Know before you go:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Put the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• At Check-in, make note of any issues with the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be respectful. Often times, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on good reviews to drive more bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
