How to find the best Oak Island vacation property experience:

Finding your best deal:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in Oak Island. Booking your Brunswick area vacation home in Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Owners sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites usually offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Brunswick area visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitor guides contain deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select a group leader, select your trip dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. 3BR\/2BA Duplex - Oceanfront, Gazebo, Close to Shops, Dining, FUN, Sleeps 8 has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking pages. If not, contact the host before you book the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You'll need to determine what is right for your vacation.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or applied to your contract.
• Is your family looking for special amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Additional considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are away, just like you would at home.
• To make sure that damages are not attributed to your family's stay, note any problem areas during check in. message the host right away to document any damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a terrific source for finding the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a terrific time? Many rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
