Getting the best Cape Fear area vacation property experience:

When to visit Oak Island & When to reserve a Oak Island rental home:

• Booking your vacation rental in the Fall or Spring is a great way to save on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes.
• The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are reserved early. Reserving your vacation property up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Property management companies sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Many management companies supply Cape Fear area area travel guides which will include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through 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.

How to pick the perfect vacation home in the Cape Fear area area:

• Select vacation week and spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration you need. \"Running Down A Dream\" Pet friendly Oceanfront in peaceful Caswell Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually accessible on booking pages. If not, reach out to the property management company before you book your rental. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
• Looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking
• Some rentals allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the owner about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Advice for your stay:

• Add the property manager's information to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your stay, make a record of any problem areas during check in. Make contact with the rental manager right away to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, intercom or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few problems.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are out! Don't let burglars ruin your trip.
• Just before checking out, complete a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental one final time and scan for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
