Strategies to get the perfect rental home experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in Oak Island. To get the largest rental home within budget, we recommend booking in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite Cape Fear area restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Some hosts and property managers offer rate reductions for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Often, property management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitors guide magazines which often include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Choose your vacation week and max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Island Tower: 360-degree Views from a Bluff Overlooking the Waterway has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is often accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, call the property owner before you book the home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or costs applied to your contract.
• Is your family looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking

More considerations:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents many issues.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• To make sure that damages aren't linked to your visit, inspect for any problem areas upon your arrival. message the host right away to relay your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be an incredible source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Upon check-out, complete a walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on good reviews to propel more reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
