Finding the best Cape Fear area vacation home experience:

When to visit Ocean Isle Beach & When to reserve a Cape Fear area rental home:

• To get the best value, try changing your vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer great weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Often, rental management companies supply Cape Fear area area travel guides that include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Choosing the perfect rental:

• Select your vacation week and budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family requires. OIB Lovin’ Life - Steps From The Beach has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property management company before you reserve your home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• Looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must reserve a rental that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

Additional considerations:

• Add the host's information to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• During arrival, make note of any damages to the property and immediately contact the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a terrific resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let burglars ruin your trip.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all personal items. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
