Booking the best Cape Fear area vacation property experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Summertime is high season in Oak Island. Booking your vacation rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a great way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• In the Cape Fear area area, The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked very early. Booking your rental home 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• 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 special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Often, property management companies supply Cape Fear area area travel guides which will include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Filter your rental search:

• Select your vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Summer Sea: Ocean Views Abound at this Colorful Rental with Private Pool and Ele has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is almost always available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property management company before you reserve the home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out which bed configuration is optimal for your vacation group.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental
• If your group is bringing pets, you will need a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property owners charge additional pet fees.

Advice for your stay:

• Add the property manager's contact info to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• At Check-in, make note of any damages to the property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of issues.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a terrific source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Just before checking out, take a final walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a terrific time? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
