Getting the best Oak Island rental experience:

Finding the best value:

• The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved early. Reserving your rental property six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Book your Cape Fear area vacation in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home 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 have coupons for nearby shops and restaurants.

How to choose and book the rightrental:

• Select your vacation week and budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Oak Island Cottage: Minutes to Long Beach! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking pages. Otherwise, email or call the host before booking your rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to establish what is right for your vacation family.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to find a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• Does your family require particular amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More considerations for your visit:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your phone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of problems.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your family's visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas during arrival. Contact the host immediately to record any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all personal items. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on great feedback to compel new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best vacation rental. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
