Strategies for getting the best Oak Island vacation property experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months 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.
• Summer time is high season in the Cape Fear area area. To find the most suitable rental home within your budget, we recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter 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 friends and family at the beach.
• Property management companies sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area area magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guides contain money saving offers on local tours and attractions.

Planning and choosing the bestrental home:

• Select vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. Clean home on quiet street\/Walk to beach & shops\/Small, non-shedding dogs has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible online. If not, contact the property owner before you reserve your rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to establish what bed configuration is best for your family.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or costs applied to your invoice.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental

Know before you go:

• Add the owner's contact information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many problems.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your family's visit, make a record of any problem areas during check in. Speak to the rental manager immediately to report your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your peace and quiet. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Just before checking out, take a walk-through to make sure you did not forget any personal items. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a great vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to fix 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.
