Tips for getting the best vacation home experience:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• Summertime is high season in the Cape Fear area area. Reserve your Cape Fear area rental property in Fall or Spring to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Reserving your rental property up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally 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 medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine upon arrival. 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 stories, visitors guides contain money saving offers on nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

How to choose the best rental in Oak Island:

• Select a designated group leader, select your dates, and select a budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Kraken Kove: Gorgeous Getaway Between Beach and Intracoastal Waterway has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property manager before reserving the rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to work out what is suitable for your trip.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some do not. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask your host about your furry family members before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• During arrival, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors bothering your peaceful home life. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your vacation home while you're away. Protect your property!
• Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a excellent vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
