Tips to get the perfect vacation rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• In the Cape Fear area area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are reserved early. Booking your vacation home up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To book the most suitable rental home for your budget, we recommend booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite Cape Fear area restaurants and activities.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area travel guides which include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of 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.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Start by selecting a vacation week and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Timeless Oceanfront Cottage Near Pier with Grill & Fishing Station has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available on booking websites. If not, email the host before you book the property. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a rental that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.

During your stay:

• Add the property manager's information to your phone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would back home.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your family's visit, note any problem areas upon your arrival. Call the host right away to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• On check-out day, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget any personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on good ratings to drive future bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
