Tricks and tips to get the optimal Cape Fear area rental experience:

How to get the best value:

• June, July, and August are high season in Oak Island. Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a good way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines contain coupons for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Planning, selecting, and booking the best Cape Fear area rental home:

• Start by having your group commit to a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Best Location on the Island has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is often available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the property owner before booking the home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
• If there's a particular Cape Fear area destination you love, keep an eye out for homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• Some rentals allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property manager about your furry family members before booking.

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• Upon check-in, make note of any damages to the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic source for finding the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed everything on check-out day. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on great ratings to stimulate new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
