Oak Island rental home booking tips:

How to get the best value:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Cape Fear area area. Booking a rental in Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies supply Cape Fear area area travel guide magazines which often include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Narrow your Search:

• First and foremost, have your family decide on dates and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Wateroak shaded home with screened porch one direct block from beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the property manager before you reserve the home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly rental. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Add a note with the instructions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Record any damages to the property at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are useful if damages are assessed.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent quite a few problems.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic resource to find the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let crooks ruin your family vacation.
• At departure, take a final walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property a final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, remember to take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent ratings to stimulate future reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
