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

Getting the most from your rental budget:

• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Reserve your Cape Fear area vacation in Fall or Spring months to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• The earlier you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked early. Reserving your rental up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies usually offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines contain money saving offers on local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Finding the perfect rental home in Oak Island:

• To start, have your family agree to a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. West End Gulls~Beach Access~Astonishing Views~Dog Friendly~Low Cleaning Fee has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area rentals search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally available online. If not, contact the property manager before reserving the vacation property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• Does your group require special amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property manager about pet restrictions before booking.

More tips for your stay:

• Add the host's information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Record any issues with the property at check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are very helpful if damages are assessed.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a wonderful stay? Many rental managers make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
