Tips and Tricks to get the perfect rental home experience:

Get the most from your rental home budget:

• To get the best value, try changing your vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer great temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• The sooner you can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your vacation property six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Some hosts offer special rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines contain deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Narrow your rental Search:

• First, have your group select vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Primrose Cottage - views & breezes on Bald Head Island - 3 minute walk to beach! has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available online. If you don't see them listed, email the property management company before reserving the rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.
• If your family is traveling with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

Have a great stay:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your .
• Make a record of any damages to the property during check in, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent source for finding the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at departure. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on great feedback to inspire new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared 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 property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
