Getting the best vacation rental experience:

Sticking to a spending budget:

• Summer is the most expensive season in Oak Island. Reserve your rental property in Fall or Spring months to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• In the Cape Fear area area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are booked very early. Booking your rental up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guides have discounts for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Finding the best rental in Oak Island:

• Select your dates and spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Seaward's Fun: Oceanfront beach cottage with elevated patio overlooking the beac has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the property manager before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You will need to establish what configuration is right for your family.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• If your family is bringing pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly property. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Have a great stay:

• Add the host's phone number to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Make a record of any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected everything. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on great reviews to inspire new bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will appreciate that you share your experience find their best vacation home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
