Strategies for getting the perfect Oak Island vacation property experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in Oak Island. Book your Cape Fear area vacation in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• In the Cape Fear area area, The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation home up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays 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 management company or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines have deals for local tours and attractions.

How to choose the best vacation rental in the Cape Fear area area:

• Begin by choosing your a vacation week and a 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.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally available online. If you don't see them listed, contact the host before you book the home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine what configuration is optimal for your vacation.
• If there's an individual Cape Fear area beach you are crazy about, search for homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some rentals allow pets, but some don't. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property management company about your furry family members before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

• Get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make certain that damages are not attributed to your stay, inspect for any problem areas when you arrive. Get in touch with the property manager immediately to document your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of issues.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a wonderful stay? Most rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
