Tricks and tips for getting the best vacation property experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Reserve your Cape Fear area rental home in the Fall or Spring to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• In the Cape Fear area area, The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked early. Booking your rental home up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies typically offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines contain money saving offers on local accommodations and attractions.

• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Hobbs Realty - Very Last Home on the Island w\/Heated Pool, Elevator, Luxury Amenities has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property manager before you reserve the property. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Is your group looking for special amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• Some properties allow pets, and some do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Tips for a great stay:

• Store the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Document any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if damages are assessed.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many problems.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a fantastic resource to find the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Protect your property!
• Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at departure. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a great vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
