Tips and Tricks to get the best Oak Island vacation rental experience:

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

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
