Tips and Tricks to get the best Oak Island rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

In the Cape Fear area area, The sooner you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are reserved early. Booking your rental up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To find the best value, consider changing your family's Cape Fear area vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer great temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
Some hosts offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation 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 charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area area magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines contain offers and deals for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

How to select the best vacation rental in the Cape Fear area area:

Choose vacation dates and budget.
Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. 5BR\/3.5BA Home - 2nd Row, Pool, Tiki Bar, Ocean Views, Beach, Sleeps 13 has 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available online. If you don't see them listed, email the property manager before booking your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You will need to establish which bed configuration is right for your family.
If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
Are you visiting for a specific attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.

More considerations for your visit:

Be sure you get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. Put the host's information in your smartphone.
Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would back home.
To ensure that damages aren't linked to your stay, note any problem areas during check in. Make contact with the host immediately to report your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors disrupting your peace. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and places you would have not otherwise known about!
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Record a video to document the condition of the property.
Did your group have a great time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
