Tricks and tips to get the perfect Cape Fear area rental experience:

Get the most from your rental home budget:

• June, July, and August are high season in Oak Island. Booking in Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites typically offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines have deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Begin by selecting your potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group requires. Once Upon a Tide: Spacious Oceanfront Home with Heated Pool, Electric Car Charge has 10 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property management company before you book the rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to work out what configuration is optimal for your vacation group.
• Are you visiting for a single event? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly rental. Get details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some hosts charge additional pet fees.

More considerations:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• To make certain that no damages are linked to your family's stay, record any problem areas during check in. Make contact with the rental manager right away to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of difficulties.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a terrific resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let thieves spoil your vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on great reviews to compel new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience find their best vacation rental. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
