Tricks and tips to get the best rental experience:

Getting the best rental value:

• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation rental up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Cape Fear area area. To find the most suitable rental within budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• Some property managers offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area visitor guides which often include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• First and foremost, have your family agree to date ranges and a spending budget.
• Themed Bedroom
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible online. If they are not listed, call the property manager before booking your home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine what is optimal for your vacation group.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some do not. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the host about your furry family members before booking.
• If there's a specific Cape Fear area attraction you crave, search for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

More tips for your stay:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• At Check-in, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a terrific resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected everything. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on good ratings to compel more bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
