Tricks and tips to get the perfect Cape Fear area vacation home experience:

Sticking to your rental home budget:

• Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a great way to save on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes.
• The sooner you can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Reserving your vacation home up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area visitors guide magazines which will include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning, selecting, and booking a perfectrental home:

• Start by selecting vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. The Sand Castle on Oak Island has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible online. If they are not listed, reach out to the property management company before you reserve the rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to work out what is best for your vacation group.
• If there's a specific Cape Fear area destination you crave, keep an eye out for homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property manager about your furry family members before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• To make certain damages aren't attributed to your visit, make note of any problem areas when you arrive. Make contact with the host right away to record any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are out, just like you would back home.
• When it's time to leave, complete a walk-through to make sure you didn't forget any personal items. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on great ratings to stimulate future bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will will be grateful for your review find their best rental home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
