Our top Cape Fear area rental home tips:

When to visit Carolina Beach & When to book:

• The sooner you can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved early. Booking your vacation rental up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Cape Fear area area. To get the best value, consider changing your family's Cape Fear area vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area area magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guides contain deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• To start, have your family choose date ranges and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration you need. Unsinkable Mary has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available on booking websites. If not, reach out to the property owner before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to work out which bed configuration is optimal for your vacation group.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property manager about pet restrictions before booking.
• If there's a certain Cape Fear area attraction you are crazy about, look for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.

Advice for your stay:

• Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental while you are away. Protect your property!
• Note any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be helpful if damages are assessed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers disrupting your home life. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• On check-out day, take a final walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a fantastic stay? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
