Strategies to get the best Cape Fear area vacation property experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Oak Island. To find the best rental for your budget, we recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines contain offers and deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Planning, selecting, and booking the best Cape Fear area rental home:

• Choose vacation dates and max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Oak Island beach cottage steps to the beach and close to Oak Island Pier has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is often accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the property manager before booking your rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out which bed configuration is best for your family.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a certain Cape Fear area attraction you are crazy about, keep an eye out for homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .

During your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your phone.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Protect your property!
• Document any issues with the property during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if damages are assessed.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on great reviews to stimulate new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will will be grateful for your feedback find their best vacation home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
