Tips for getting the best rental experience:

Sticking to a budget:

• Summertime is high season in Oak Island. Booking in Spring or Fall is a good way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra 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 visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides contain coupons for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Choosing the best rental home in the Brunswick area area:

• Start by selecting trip dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group requires. 3BR\/2BA Duplex - Oceanfront, Gazebo, Close to Shops, Dining, FUN, Sleeps 8 has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the property owner before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Do your family pets travel with you? 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 rental agreement! Extra fees or charges may be applied to your agreement.

More considerations for your visit:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your phone.
• Upon arrival, document any issues with the property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers bothering your peaceful home. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your vacation home while you're out. Protect your property!
• On check-out day, take a walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a great time? Most rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
