Tricks and tips to get the best Oak Island vacation property experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Summertime is high season in Oak Island. Booking in Spring or Fall is a good way to save on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• In the Cape Fear area area, The sooner you can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved early. Booking your rental property up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitors guides have deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your vacation week, and select a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Just 3 Blocks from the beach! Exceptional Water\/Marsh View From Deck has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally available online. If you don't see them listed, call the host before reserving the home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to establish what configuration is right for your vacation group.
• If there's a specific Cape Fear area destination you long to visit, look for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must book a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

Tips to have a terrific stay:

• Get the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• During check-in, make note of any issues with the property and immediately alert the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! 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 shopping?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed everything at check-out. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager is not available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a wonderful stay? Many rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
