How to get the best Oak Island vacation property experience:

Finding your best deal:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in the Cape Fear area area. Reserve your Cape Fear area rental property in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Property management companies sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitors guide magazines which will include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Choose vacation dates and spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family needs. Family oasis beach retreat in quiet woodlands has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is often available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the property manager before reserving the vacation property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to work out which bed configuration is right 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. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or costs applied to your agreement.
• Does your family require special amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking

Considerations for your stay:

• Add the owner's contact information to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• During check-in, note any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Just prior to departing, take a walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent feedback to inspire more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
