Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Oak Island rental experience:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

• To find the best value, try shifting your family's Cape Fear area vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic.
• The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation home 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides have money saving offers on nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Finding the best rental:

• To start, have your group commit to a vacation week and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. The Sandcastle: Upscale Large Oceanfront Home with Private Pool and Elevator has 11 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area vacation rental search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property management company before you reserve the property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You'll need to establish what is suitable for your vacation group.
• If there's a specific Cape Fear area attraction you simply love, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some properties allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property management company about your furry family members before booking.

Additional considerations:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• Upon arrival, record any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Re-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed everything at check-out. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from 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.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on great feedback to inspire new reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will will be grateful for your feedback 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 quickly to solve it.
