Vacation rental tips:

Sticking to your spending budget:

• Booking your Cape Fear area vacation rental in Fall or Spring months is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• In the Cape Fear area area, The earlier your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your vacation rental up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Some property management companies offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area visitor guide magazines which often include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between 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.

Choosing and booking the best Cape Fear area rental:

• Select your dates and max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. The Little Paddle Beach Cottage near the Boardwalk has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available online. If not, contact the property owner before you reserve the home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what configuration is suitable for your vacation.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you will need a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request details on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Tips to have a smooth stay:

• We recommend storing the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• During arrival, document any issues with the property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent a lot of issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers disrupting your peace. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let thieves ruin your trip.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a excellent vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
