Tricks and tips to get the optimal Cape Fear area vacation property experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in Oak Island. To get the best value, try shifting your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warm weather, , and greatly reduced traffic.
• Some hosts and property managers offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Planning, picking, and booking your Cape Fear area vacation home:

• Select your vacation week and budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family needs. Once Upon a Tide: Spacious Oceanfront Home with Heated Pool, Electric Car Charge has 10 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is almost always available on booking pages. If not, call the property owner before you book the home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some do not. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking

Tips for a fantastic stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Put the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are out! Don't let thieves spoil your vacation.
• Document any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be beneficial if a dispute is filed.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great resource to find the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• At departure, complete a final walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, remember to take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a excellent vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
