Tips to get the perfect Cape Fear area rental experience:

Get the most from your vacation rental budget:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in Oak Island. Booking your Cape Fear area vacation home in Fall or Spring is a good way to save money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitor guides contain deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

How to choose the best vacation home in the Cape Fear area area:

• First, have your family decide on dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Shellease Cottage-\n4 minute walk to the beach!\nGolf Cart available! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is commonly accessible on booking websites. If not, reach out to the property management company before reserving the home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to work out what configuration is optimal for your trip.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly property. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Visiting for a single event? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .

• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.

If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
