Tips and Tricks to get the best Cape Fear area rental home experience:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Reserve your rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Some property managers offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitors guides contain discounts for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• First and foremost, have your family decide on trip dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. SL1501U: Starfish Cottage Upper: Oceanfront, Views, Dog Friendly has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the property owner before you reserve your rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to work out what is suitable for your group.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly property. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property managers charge additional pet fees.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

More tips for your visit:

• We recommend storing the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few issues.
• Lock your vacation home while you are out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Upon arrival, document any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic source for finding the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected everything. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to inspire new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience find their best vacation rental. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
