Tricks and tips to get the best vacation home experience:

Finding your perfect rental home:

• Summer months are high season in Oak Island. To get the most suitable rental within your budget, we recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant 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 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? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation home six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Owners sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine 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 articles, travel guides have deals for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Selecting the best rental home in the Cape Fear area area:

• Choose a group leader, choose your vacation week, and choose a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Oak & Olive - Oak Island, NC has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible online. If they are not listed, email the property management company before reserving the vacation home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• If there's a certain Cape Fear area beach you long to visit, keep an eye out for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers charge additional pet fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• During check-in, make note of any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic resource to find the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a great vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
