Oak Island
Oak Island is the ideal blend of convenient amenities and eateries, without being overrun with upsized T-shirt huts and overcrowded beaches. Selected as one of USA Today’s 51 Great American Beaches, Oak Island is one of the best kept secrets on the east coast! Only mins. from the historic town of Southport, Oak Island offers a blend of amenities and miles of open, unpopulated beach.

This family-aligned community offers a variety of activities for all interests, including:
• Great water-related activities, including fishing, swimming, kayaking on the sound side and boating.
• Several close by golf courses, or for the avid golfer, Myrtle Beach is a 45-min. drive.
• Caswell Beach is a loggerhead sea turtle sanctuary.
• Spend a day in Southport, a historic coastal community with modest town appeal that offers eateries, stores and deep-sea fishing.
• Take a ferry ride to either Fort Fisher Aquarium or to Bald Head Island.
• Wilmington (35 miles) has waterfront stores, the NC Aquarium and the North Carolina Battleship.

Booking the best Oak Island rental experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in the Cape Fear area area. Booking in the Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. 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 costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area visitors guide magazines which will include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by selecting your potential vacation weeks and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Sea la Vie: Oceanfront Peace & Relaxation (Fully Renovated 2021) has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available online. If not, reach out to the property manager before reserving the rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the host about pets before booking.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Have a wonderful stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Save the instructions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you're out! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• Note any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, remember to take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on great feedback to drive new bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience find their best vacation rental. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
