Tips and Tricks to get the optimal Cape Fear area vacation property experience:

Get the best value:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Book your rental home in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines have deals for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by having your family select vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. St James Vacation Condo\/TH Rental - Southport NC - Cottage Retreat has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible online. If you don't see them listed, email the property management company before you reserve your rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You'll need to determine what is suitable for your group.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or applied to your agreement.
• If there's a certain Cape Fear area beach you crave, keep an eye out for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

More tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Protect your property!
• To make sure that no damages are linked to your family's visit, note any problem areas during check in. Make contact with the host right away to relay any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a terrific stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
