Booking the best Cape Fear area vacation rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Summer is the most expensive season in the Cape Fear area area. Booking your vacation home in the Fall or Spring is our favorite way to save money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• The earlier you can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked very early. Booking your rental 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides have deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Make a plan and pick the bestrental home:

• Begin by selecting your the best vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Perfect for Longer Stay Minimum 21 days - Wonderful 2 BR condo, w\/ Pool in the St James Community has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available online. Otherwise, call the property owner before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You'll need to work out what is suitable for your vacation family.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or charges could be applied to your invoice.

Some things to know before you go:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your visit, note any problem areas during arrival. Speak to the rental manager right away to record any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents a lot of problems.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let thieves spoil your trip.
• At departure, take a walk-through to confirm you have not leave anything behind. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on great ratings to propel new reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
