Oak Island vacation rental tips and tricks:

When to go & When to reserve a Cape Fear area rental home:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Cape Fear area area. Reserving a rental home in Spring or Fall is a great way to save on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. 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 loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer rate reductions for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides contain deals for local accommodations and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Begin by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Blue Haven: 4 Bed\/2 Bath Oceanfront Knotty Pine Beach Cottage with two Covered P has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is commonly accessible online. Otherwise, email or call the host before you book the vacation property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish what configuration is suitable for your vacation.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask your host about your furry family members before booking.

• Upon arrival, record any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.

• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• Upon check-out, take a walk-through to confirm you have not forget anything. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on great reviews to compel more bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation.
