Finding the best Oak Island vacation home experience:

Finding your best deal:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. To find the largest rental home for your budget, we highly recommend booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at popular Carolina Beach attractions and restaurants.
• Some property managers offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines have discounts for local accommodations and attractions.

How to pick the perfect vacation home in Oak Island:

• Start by choosing a vacation week and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Oceanfront Cottage w/ Panoramic Views & Vintage Vibes - The Last Chance has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available on booking websites. If not, contact the property management company before reserving the property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You'll need to determine what is right for your vacation.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or costs applied to your invoice.
• If there's a particular Carolina Beach destination you crave, look for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.

Some things to know before you go:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let thieves spoil your family vacation.
• During check-in, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors bothering your peaceful home life. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Just before checking out, take a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
