Booking the best vacation home experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• In the Cape Fear area area, The sooner you can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Booking your rental property 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Summer months are high season in Oak Island. To get the best value, shift your family's Cape Fear area vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitors guide magazines have money saving offers on local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Planning, selecting, and booking your prefect Cape Fear area vacation home:

• Start by choosing your the best vacation week and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. 4BR\/3BA Home - Oceanfront, Dog friendly and Steps to the beach, Sleeps 10 has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible online. If they are not listed, reach out to the host before you reserve the home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Some properties allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the host about your furry family members before booking.
• If there's an individual Cape Fear area destination you crave, browse rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking

During your stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, television set or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many concerns.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Document any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are very helpful if there is a dispute.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on great feedback to inspire more bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
