Tips and Tricks to get the best vacation property experience:

Sticking to your spending plan:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in Oak Island. Book your rental in Spring or Fall to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property managers typically offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines contain money saving offers on local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Planning and choosing the perfect Cape Fear area vacation home:

• Choose your vacation dates and budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Oceanfront Gem with Stunning Views, Spacious Deck, Outdoor Shower, and Grill has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property owner before booking the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what is optimal for your group.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the owner about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• Does your group require particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

Know before you go:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let thieves ruin your family vacation.
• Record any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are beneficial if a dispute is filed.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on good ratings to inspire more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
