Strategies to get the best Cape Fear area rental home experience:

Sticking to your spending budget:

• To find the best value, consider shifting your family's Cape Fear area vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area travel guide magazines which include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Begin by choosing trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Truly Unique! 1938 Historic Beach House has 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible online. If not, contact the host before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If there's a specific Cape Fear area destination you are enamored with, look for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.
• If your group is bringing pets, you will need a rental that allows animals. Get details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property owners charge additional pet fees.

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your family's stay, inspect for any problem areas upon check in. message the rental manager right away to document any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors disrupting your life at home. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at departure. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out 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.

If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
