Tips and Tricks to get the best rental experience:

Finding your best deal:

• Booking a rental in Fall or Spring is an excellent way to save money on your vacation home. 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 vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• The sooner you can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked early. Booking your rental property up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies often offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay 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 costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area travel guides that include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to select the perfect vacation rental:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your vacation week, and select a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. The Wilmingtonian on Front has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible online. Otherwise, contact the host before booking your rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to establish what is suitable for your vacation group.
• If there's a specific Cape Fear area attraction you are crazy about, search for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before booking
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or costs applied to your invoice.

Considerations for your stay:

• Store the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make sure damages are not attributed to your visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas when you arrive. text the property manager right away to document any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, television set or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many problems.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a fantastic source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a terrific vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
