Our top Cape Fear area rental home booking tips and tricks:

When to go & When to book:

• To find the best value, consider shifting your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic.
• The earlier you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked early. Reserving your vacation home up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area visitors guides that include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the rental 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.

Choosing the best rental home:

• Start by selecting your a vacation week and a budget.

• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking websites. If not, email or call the property manager before you reserve your home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If there's a particular Cape Fear area beach you simply love, keep an eye out for homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a rental that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

Know before you go:

• Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• To make certain damages are not attributed to your stay, make a record of any problem areas during check in. Call the rental manager immediately to record your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and look for damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on great feedback to stimulate new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
