Strategies for getting the best Oak Island rental home experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Oak Island. To find the best value, consider shifting your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer pleasant temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guide magazines have discounts for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select vacation week and spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. 5BR\/3BA - Beautiful, Ocean View Home-Close to the Beach, Sleeps 12 has 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available online. Otherwise, call the property management company before reserving the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If there's a specific Cape Fear area attraction you love, browse properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

Additional considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your smartphone.
• To make certain that damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, inspect the property for any problem areas during arrival. E-mail the rental manager immediately to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, elevator or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of concerns.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean 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 you have a terrific vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
