Strategies to get the very best Cape Fear area vacation rental experience:

Finding the best rental home value:

• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To find the best rental within budget, we recommend reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• In the Cape Fear area area, The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are reserved early. Reserving your rental property six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Property management companies sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Many property management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitor guide magazines which include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning, selecting, and booking the right Cape Fear area rental:

• First and foremost, have your family commit to vacation dates and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. Welcome to The Marsh Harbour Inn-Ship Watch has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area vacation rental search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible online. If not, call the host before you book the vacation home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to work out what configuration is right for your group.
• If there's an individual Cape Fear area destination you simply love, look for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or charges may be applied to your contract.

Considerations for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your phone.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your visit, make note of any problem areas when you arrive. Speak to the rental manager right away to relay any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors bothering your life at home. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean 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.
• Did you have a great time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
