Getting the best rental experience:

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

• Booking in Fall or Spring months is our favorite way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies typically offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area travel guide magazines which often include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning, picking, and booking the right Cape Fear area rental home:

• Choose your vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Statehouse: Oceanview beach cottage in East Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually available online. If they are not listed, contact the property manager before reserving the rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You will need to establish what configuration is suitable for your group.
• If there's a particular Cape Fear area destination you love, keep an eye out for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly rental. Ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, hosts charge additional pet fees.

Advice for your stay:

• Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your visit, record any problem areas when you arrive. E-mail the property manager right away to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your home life. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let burglars spoil your holiday.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all personal items. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Most rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
