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

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

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To get the best value, consider shifting your family's Cape Fear area trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer excellent weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guides contain discounts for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Planning and picking the perfectrental home:

• Start by having your family choose trip dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. 1 Particular Harbor- Charming Rustic Cottage for the Perfect Island Getaway has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is commonly accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email the host before booking your rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly property. Ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners charge additional pet fees.
• If there's an individual Cape Fear area attraction you crave, browse homes that are either nearby, or those that cater 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.

Tips to have a terrific stay:

• Get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. Store the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, stereo or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of concerns.
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let thieves ruin your vacation.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are useful if damages are assessed.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent resource to find the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Just prior to departing, complete a walk-through to make sure you have not leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent feedback to propel more reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
