Tips to get the perfect Oak Island vacation home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Booking in Fall or Spring months is an excellent way to save money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, 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, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Some property managers offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies frequently offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 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 issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Often, property management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitors guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to select the best vacation home in the Cape Fear area area:

• Start by having your group agree to the best dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group requires. 4BR\/2BA Home - Only a Short Walk to the Beach, Sleeps12 has 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area rental home search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is generally accessible online. If they are not listed, email or call the property manager before booking the property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out which bed configuration is best for your vacation family.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Cape Fear area attraction you are crazy about, look for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let thieves ruin your family vacation.
• Upon check-in, record any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all of your things. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a great vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
