Booking the best Oak Island vacation rental experience:

Find your best deal:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the most suitable rental home within your budget, we strongly suggest booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Some property managers offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Brunswick area area magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guides have deals for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Select a group leader, choose your dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. \"The Barden Cottage\" A charming cottage with a view you won't get tired of! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property owner before booking the property. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly property. Ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a certain Brunswick area beach you simply love, look for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

Considerations for your stay:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let burglars ruin your trip.
• Document any issues with the property during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute arises.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! 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 BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on great reviews to compel future bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will will be grateful for 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 owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
