Cape Fear area rental home tips and tricks:

Money saving strategies:

• In the Cape Fear area area, The earlier you can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are booked very early. Reserving your rental home up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Summer months are high season in the Cape Fear area area. Reserve your Cape Fear area vacation in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Some hosts offer special rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, travel guides have discounts for local tours and attractions.

Selecting the best vacation rental in Oak Island:

• Begin by selecting vacation dates and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group needs. 3Min Walk to Beach w\/Marsh View: Bright Spacious Family Home has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area vacation rental search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is regularly accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, email the property manager before you reserve the rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what configuration is suitable for your trip.
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or costs may be applied to your contract.
• If there's an individual Cape Fear area attraction you long to visit, look for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental

Advice for your stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. Store the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• To make sure that damages are not attributed to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas when you arrive. E-mail the host right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers bothering your peace and quiet. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• On check-out day, complete a walk-through to make sure you did not forget any personal items. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a wonderful time? Many rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
