Strategies for getting the best Bald Head Island vacation home experience:

When to book a Cape Fear area rental & When to go:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in Bald Head Island. Booking your Cape Fear area vacation rental in Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area area magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines contain discounts for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Selecting the perfect vacation rental:

• Select your vacation dates and budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Oasis in cape fear station forest with wildlife views has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, call the property management company before booking your home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must reserve a rental that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property managers charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a particular Cape Fear area attraction you love, search for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

Tips for your stay:

• Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents lots of problems.
• Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let burglars spoil your trip.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas upon your arrival. Speak to the host immediately to document any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your life at home. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• On check-out day, complete a walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
