Strategies for getting the perfect Oak Island rental home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• In the Brunswick area area, The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked very early. Reserving your vacation home 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• June, July, and August are high season in Oak Island. To find the most suitable rental home within your budget, we suggest booking in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Often, management companies supply Brunswick area area visitor guides that include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Narrow your Search:

• Select a designated group leader, choose your vacation dates, and select a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Down By The Sea: Modern Coastal Home with Hot Tub has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible online. Otherwise, contact the property management company before booking the vacation home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine what bed configuration is right for your family.
• Some properties allow pets, but some don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask your host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before booking

More tips for your visit:

• Get the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Protect your property!
• Record any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent resource to find the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and look for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a great time? Many rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order 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 comments.
