Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Cape Fear area vacation home experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• Summertime is high season in the Cape Fear area area. Reserving a rental home in Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• The sooner you can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation rental up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Some property management companies offer rate reductions for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guides contain deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Finding the perfect rental in Oak Island:

• Select dates and spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom 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 counts is usually accessible online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before you book the rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You will need to work out what is right for your family.
• Is your family looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Request details on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Upon arrival, document any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers bothering your home life. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the property to make sure you've collected everything. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a excellent time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect 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 comments.
