Our top Cape Fear area rental home booking tips and tricks:

How to get the best rental value:

• To get the best value, try changing your vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer excellent weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many rental management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitor guides which include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to select the best vacation home in Oak Island:

• First, have your group agree to trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family requires. 5BR\/2.5BA Home - Only 1 block to the beach, Sleeps 12 has 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the property manager before reserving the home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• Does your group require unique amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• If your family is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Advice for your stay:

• Add the owner's contact information to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Make a record of any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent a lot of concerns.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, surrounding 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! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let thieves ruin your trip.
• On check-out day, take a walk-through to confirm you didn't leave anything behind. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a excellent time? Many rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect 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 feedback.
