Tips to get the perfect Oak Island vacation rental experience:

When to reserve a Cape Fear area rental & When to go:

• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked early. Reserving your vacation rental six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Summer months are high season in the Cape Fear area area. Reserve your Cape Fear area rental property in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Some hosts and property managers offer promotional rates for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area visitor guides which include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Select a group leader, select your trip dates, and select a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family requires. Ocean Views Great Location, Dog friendly Condo, Only 200 steps to Beach, No Parking Fees has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is commonly available on booking pages. Otherwise, contact the property management company before reserving the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine what configuration is best for your family.
• If your group is traveling with pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Is your family looking for special amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

More tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
• To make certain that damages are not attributed to your family's visit, record any problem areas upon your arrival. Get in touch with the property manager immediately to record your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• On check-out day, complete a walk-through to confirm you have not forget any personal items. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, remember to take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a wonderful vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order 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 comments.
