Tips and Tricks to get the best Cape Fear area rental home experience:

When to go & When to reserve a Cape Fear area rental home:

• To find the best value, try changing your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer great weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• The earlier you can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are booked early. Reserving your vacation home up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines contain coupons for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

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

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation week, and choose a max budget.
• Themed Bedroom
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually available online. If not, contact the property management company before reserving the home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's a certain Cape Fear area beach you simply love, browse properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the host about your furry family members before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• At Check-in, record any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, intercom or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent quite a few problems.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent feedback to drive new reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
