Tricks and tips to get the perfect Brunswick area rental experience:

Get the most from your spending budget:

• Summer months are the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Booking in Fall or Spring months is a great way to save on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• The earlier you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked early. Booking your vacation rental up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Some property management companies offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guides contain discounts for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Finding the best rental home in Oak Island:

• Start by having your family select trip dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Afternoon Delight: Oceanfront, Dog-friendly Home with Sun Deck and Covered Decks has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the host before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• Are you visiting for a single event? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• Some properties allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable breeds and types before booking.

More tips for your visit:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your phone.
• To make sure that no damages are attributed to your visit, inspect the property for any problem areas when you arrive. Call the rental manager right away to relay any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many difficulties.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific source for finding the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected everything. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on great feedback to inspire more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
