Our top Oak Island rental home booking tips and tricks:

How to get the best rental value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Cape Fear area area. Booking your vacation rental in Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• In the Cape Fear area area, The earlier your group can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked early. Booking your vacation rental six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guides contain money saving offers on local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Filter your rental search:

• Start by having your group commit to the best dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Semi Oceanfront, Steps to Beach, Cozy Cottage has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is usually available on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before you reserve your home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to work out what configuration is suitable for your trip.
• Does your group require special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your family is traveling with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly property. Get details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

Know before you go:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
• Document any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be helpful if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many concerns.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a terrific source for finding the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would at home.
• At departure, take a final walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and look for damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a wonderful vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
