How to book the best Oak Island vacation property experience:

Finding the best rental home value:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in Oak Island. To get the best value, change your vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitors guides contain money saving offers on nearby shops and restaurants.

Choosing and booking yourvacation home:

• First and foremost, have your family agree to dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Barrycuda: Private Pool and Hot Tub - Ocean View, West Beach Home has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible on booking websites. If not, contact the property management company before you reserve your home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You will need to establish which bed configuration is best for your trip.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or charges applied to your contract.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.

More tips for your visit:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, intercom or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many problems.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Upon check-in, note any damages to the property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers bothering your life at home. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• At departure, take a walk-through to make sure you did not forget any personal items. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a terrific vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
