Our top Vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

How to get the best value:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in Oak Island. Booking your vacation home in Fall or Spring months is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, travel guides contain discounts for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Make a plan and pick a perfect Cape Fear area rental:

• Choose vacation week and max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Rusty Anchor OKI - Walk to the Beach, Pet Friendly, Fenced Yard! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally available online. If not, contact the property owner before reserving the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or costs may be applied to your invoice.
• If there's a particular Cape Fear area destination you are enamored with, search for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Some things to know before you go:

• Add the owner's contact info to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents quite a few concerns.
• Lock your vacation home while you're out. Keep your property safe!
• Upon check-in, note any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be an incredible source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• At departure, take a walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and scan for damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a excellent vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable 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.
