Booking the best Oak Island vacation rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

The sooner your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are booked very early. Booking your vacation home up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Cape Fear area area. To get the largest rental home within your budget, we recommend reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at Cape Fear area restaurants, beaches, and activities.
Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
Property managers often offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area travel guides which often include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Finding the perfect rental home in Oak Island:

Select a group lead, choose your dates, and choose a maximum budget.
Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. 3 BR Cozy home on the NE side of the Island has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible online. Otherwise, email the host before reserving the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You will need to determine what bed configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a rental that allows animals. Request information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
If there's a particular Cape Fear area attraction you crave, look for properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

More tips for your stay:

Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents many concerns.
Keep the property locked while you're out! Don't let burglars spoil your holiday.
To make certain damages aren't linked to your stay, note any problem areas when you arrive. Make contact with the property manager right away to document your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
Be a good neighbor. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Go through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
Did your family have a wonderful stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
