Tips for getting the best vacation home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Summer time is high season in Oak Island. Reserve your Cape Fear area rental property in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Many property management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitors guide magazines which include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

• Choose a designated group leader, select your dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Beach Happy: Kid-friendly Home Less Than a Mile From the Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.

Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to determine what is suitable for your family.
• If there's an individual Cape Fear area beach you love, keep an eye out for homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly rental. Request information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property managers charge additional pet fees.

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your smartphone.

• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be respectful. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
