Tips and Tricks for getting the best Oak Island rental home experience:

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

• In the Cape Fear area area, The sooner your group can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are reserved very early. Booking your vacation rental six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Summer time is high season in Oak Island. To get the best value, change your vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer great temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• Owners sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides contain money saving offers on local tours, shops, and attractions.

If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
