Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect Oak Island vacation home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Booking your vacation home in Fall or Spring is a good way to save money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early. Booking your vacation rental six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines have deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Filter your search:

• Start by choosing your a vacation week and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. DOG FRIENDLY & STUNNING 3 bedroom\/2 bath beach house with fenced back yard has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is almost always available online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property manager before booking the home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If there's a certain Cape Fear area attraction you are crazy about, look for properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property managers charge additional pet fees.

More considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
• Upon check-in, record any damages to the property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents quite a few difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your peaceful home life. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let crooks spoil your holiday.
• Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed everything at check-out. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on great feedback to propel more reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience find their best vacation home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
