Strategies to get the perfect Oak Island vacation rental experience:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

• Summer months are high season in Oak Island. To find the best rental for your budget, we recommend booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers often offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane 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 the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides contain offers and deals for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Selecting and booking a perfect Cape Fear area vacation home:

• Select a group lead, choose your dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Are we there yet? :Gorgeous Modern Home on Waterway has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the property manager before booking your rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to work out what configuration is best for your vacation group.
• If there's a specific Cape Fear area beach you crave, look for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly property. Ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Make a record of any issues with the property during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if damages are assessed.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let crooks spoil your vacation.
• Double-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Make sure to 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 fantastic time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong 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 feedback.
