Strategies to get the best Cape Fear area vacation home experience:

When to visit Oak Island & When to book:

• In the Cape Fear area area, The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked early. Booking your rental property up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Summer is high season in Oak Island. To find the best value, consider shifting your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer weather, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Some property management companies offer special rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies often offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guides have discounts for nearby tours and attractions.

How to choose the perfect rental:

• Start by having your family agree to vacation dates and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Renovated 7BR 3.5BA Duplex-Style House, Walk to Beach, Ocean View, Sleeps 14 has 8 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, call the property management company before reserving your home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you will need a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

During your stay:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let crooks ruin your family vacation.
• Note any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be useful if damages are assessed.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. 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?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed everything at check-out. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a great stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
