Getting the best Oak Island rental experience:

Getting the most from your budget:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Cape Fear area area. Booking your Cape Fear area vacation home in the Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve 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 property owner or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guides have discounts for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Filter your rental search:

• Start by selecting your trip dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Summertime Special! ROOMY for 10 guests!, Ocean Views, Steps to Beach! Arcade! has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the host before you book the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
• Does your group require specific amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• If your group is bringing pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Save the instructions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• To make sure that damages are not attributed to your stay, inspect the property for any problem areas when you arrive. Get in touch with the host right away to report any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent lots of concerns.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• Just prior to departing, complete a walk-through to confirm you have not forget anything. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager is not available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on good reviews to stimulate new reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
