Imagine yourself as a character in your book as you smell the salt air & feel the gentle winds off the sea. Have a friendly competition for the best chess or checkers player at the picnic table.

Strategies to get the best Oak Island vacation rental experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a Oak Island rental home:

In the Cape Fear area area, The earlier your group can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked early. Booking your rental property up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To get the most suitable rental for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
Property management companies often offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
Many management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitors guide magazines which often include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose and book the right Cape Fear area rental:

Begin by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a budget.
Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Dog Friendly w\/ Spectacular Ocean Views has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area rentals search.
Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible on booking websites. If not, email the property owner before you book the home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or charges might be applied to your agreement.
Visiting for a specific event or attraction? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.

Advice for a fantastic stay:

Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your phone.
Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
Lock your rental while you are out and about. Protect your property!
To ensure that no damages are attributed to your visit, inspect the property for any problem areas during check in. text the rental manager immediately to report your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your peaceful home. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known about!
Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Record a video to document the condition of the property.
Leave a review! Hosts rely on great ratings to drive new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
