Strategies to get the perfect Cape Fear area vacation rental experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in Oak Island. Book your Cape Fear area rental in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Hosts sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area visitor guides which include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Selecting the perfect rental home in Oak Island:

• First and foremost, have your family agree to the best dates and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Practically Perfect on West Beach - Just steps away from the Atlantic Ocean has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible online. If not, email the property manager before you reserve the home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to work out what configuration is right for your group.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the host about pets before booking.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Additional considerations:

• We recommend storing the owner's information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are out, just like you would back home.
• To make sure that no damages are attributed to your visit, note any problem areas during check in. Call the rental manager immediately to relay any damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on good feedback to propel new reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your feedback find their best rental home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
