Tricks and tips for getting the best vacation home experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Cape Fear area area. Reserve your Cape Fear area rental in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitors guide magazines have coupons for nearby accommodations and attractions.

How to pick the best rental home in Oak Island:

• Select a group lead, choose your dates, and select a budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. 5BR Ocean\/ICW Views
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible on booking websites. If not, call the property management company before booking your rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a rental that allows animals. Get details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Cape Fear area attraction you are enamored with, look for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Advice for a great stay:

• Add the host's contact information to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let burglars spoil your vacation.
• To make sure no damages are linked to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon check in. Speak to the property manager right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all of your things. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a excellent stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
