Tips to get the optimal vacation rental experience:

Get the most from your budget:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in Oak Island. Booking your Cape Fear area vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a great way to save money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties.
• In the Cape Fear area area, The earlier your group can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best properties are reserved early. Reserving your rental six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Many management companies supply Cape Fear area area travel guide magazines which often include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

• Some properties allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask your host about your furry family members before booking.

More considerations:

• Get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• To make sure that damages are not linked to your visit, inspect the property for any problem areas upon check in. Contact the host right away to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.

• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let crooks ruin your trip.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to compel future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review.

If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
