Tips for getting the best Cape Fear area vacation home experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Book your Cape Fear area vacation in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area area magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitors guides contain deals for local accommodations and attractions.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Start by having your family commit to a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Tranquil Family Home located in Surfman's Walk; private crofter with shoals access has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is generally available on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property management company before booking the property. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• If there's a particular Cape Fear area attraction you long to visit, browse homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask your host about pet restrictions before booking.

During your stay:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• During arrival, document any issues with the property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let crooks spoil your vacation.
• Re-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed everything on check-out day. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on great ratings to drive new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
