Tricks and tips to get the best rental home experience:

How to get the best value:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in Oak Island. Booking a rental in the Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties.
• Some property managers offer promotional rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies often offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Often, property management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitors guides which will include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to choose and book the best Cape Fear area rental:

• Start by choosing potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration you need. The Sandcastle: Upscale Large Oceanfront Home with Private Pool and Elevator has 11 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly accessible online. If not, reach out to the property management company before you book the property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or costs could be applied to your agreement.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before booking

More tips for your visit:

• Add the host's contact information to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of issues.
• Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Protect your property!
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas during arrival. Call the host right away to report any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected everything. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent ratings to compel new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
