Rental home booking tips:

Cost saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Reserve your vacation home in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation rental six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Some property management companies offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines contain coupons for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Begin by selecting your a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Colonel's Cottage is a charming and spacious Maritime Forest retreat! has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property manager before you reserve the rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out what bed configuration is optimal for your vacation family.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a rental that allows animals. Request details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

Additional considerations:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• Record any issues with the property at check in, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if there is a dispute.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let thieves spoil your trip.
• Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a fantastic time? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
