Tricks and tips to get the perfect vacation home experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Summer is high season in Oak Island. Book your vacation home in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides contain deals for local accommodations and attractions.
