Tips and Tricks for getting the best Oak Island rental experience:

Getting the most from your budget:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Booking in Fall or Spring months is a good way to save on your vacation rental. Rental 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 rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Some property managers offer discounts for veterans. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Often, management companies supply Cape Fear area area travel guides which will include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Choosing the perfect vacation rental:

• First and foremost, have your family decide on a vacation week and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. 5BR/4BA Home-Ocean & Marsh Views, Private Pool, Fishing Dock - Sleeps 12 has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available online. If they are not listed, call the property manager before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Get information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, property owners charge additional pet fees.
• If there's an individual Cape Fear area beach you are enamored with, keep an eye out for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Know before you go:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent lots of difficulties.
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Protect your property!
• Upon check-in, record any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors bothering your peace. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out 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.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent feedback to stimulate new bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review find their best vacation home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
