Tricks and tips to get the very best rental home experience:

When to go & When to reserve a rental home:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are high season in Oak Island. Booking in Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guides have offers and deals for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

How to choose the best rental:

• First, have your family decide on trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration you need. Picayne: 4 Bedrooms \/ 4 Baths Home with a Spacious Floor Plan and Views from Oce has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is regularly available on booking pages. Otherwise, email or call the property management company before you book your home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine what configuration is suitable for your trip.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or charges could be applied to your contract.
• If there's a certain Cape Fear area destination you are enamored with, look for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Save the instructions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, television set or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• During check-in, record any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Be respectful. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• At departure, complete a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a wonderful stay? Many rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
