Tricks and tips for getting the perfect Oak Island rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in Oak Island. Reserve your vacation home in Spring or Fall to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• The sooner you can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your vacation home up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Some property managers offer promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies usually offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Brunswick area area visitors guides that include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself.
