Tricks and tips to get the best rental home experience:

When to visit Oak Island & When to reserve a Cape Fear area rental home:

• Summer time is high season in the Cape Fear area area. To find the best rental within budget, we suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite Cape Fear area restaurants and activities.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, travel guides contain deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Make a plan and pick the perfect Cape Fear area rental:

• Start by selecting potential vacation weeks and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your family requires. Chic oceanfront house for cozy beach getaway has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area vacation rental search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking websites. If not, contact the property manager before reserving your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
• Does your group require unique amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
• Some properties allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the owner about your furry family members before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• To make sure that no damages are attributed to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon check in. text the rental manager immediately to record any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent lots of issues.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be an incredible resource to find the best local beaches.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to confirm you haven't forget anything. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on good reviews to drive future bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review find their best rental home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
