Strategies to get the very best Cape Fear area vacation home experience:

When to go & When to book:

• Summertime is high season in the Cape Fear area area. Book your Cape Fear area vacation in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable 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 near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines contain money saving offers on local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Narrow your Search:

• Start by having your group choose vacation dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your family needs. Spacious 3 bedroom House with screen porch .6 mile from downtown Southport, NC has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is usually available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property management company before you reserve the property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• Some properties allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the owner about pet restrictions before booking.

Know before you go:

• Store the owner's information in your smartphone.
• To make certain damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon your arrival. Get in touch with the host immediately to report any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Re-check the property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a terrific stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
