Strategies to get the best Oak Island vacation rental experience:

Finding your perfect rental:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Reserving a rental home in the Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Brunswick area visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides have deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• To start, have your family commit to the best dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. GREAT Location! 5 minute walk to beach! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, contact the property owner before booking the rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You will need to work out which bed configuration is best for your vacation group.
• Are you visiting for a single event? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

Know before you go:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• To make sure damages aren't attributed to your visit, make a record of any problem areas upon check in. Get in touch with the property manager immediately to relay any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors bothering your peace. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let burglars spoil your vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all personal items. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on good reviews to inspire new bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
