Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Cape Fear area vacation rental experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are reserved very early. Reserving your rental property six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Reserve your Cape Fear area vacation in Fall or Spring months to enjoy gorgeous 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 management company or host if your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines have money saving offers on nearby shops and restaurants.

Planning, picking, and booking the right Cape Fear area rental home:

• Select vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Two water views, 2-5min. walk to beach, best kitchen, beds & outdoor spaces. has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, email the host before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your family is traveling with pets, filter your search for a property that allows animals. Ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, hosts charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a certain Cape Fear area attraction you are enamored with, keep an eye out for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Considerations for your stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent quite a few difficulties.
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let thieves ruin your holiday.
• At Check-in, document any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• 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. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on good reviews to inspire new reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will will be grateful for your experience find their best rental home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
