Vacation rental booking tips:

Sticking to a spending plan:

• June, July, and August are high season in Oak Island. To get the best value, try changing your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer pleasant weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic.
• The earlier your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are booked early. Reserving your rental six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have coupons for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Filter your search:

• To start, have your family select a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Steps to the Beach Cottage: 2-bedroom 2nd Row Pet-Friendly Cottage has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally available online. If not, call the property manager before you reserve the rental. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine what is optimal for your vacation family.
• If there's a particular Brunswick area destination you simply love, browse rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some properties allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the host about allowable breeds and types before booking.

More tips for your stay:

• Get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• During arrival, make note of any issues with the property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors bothering your home life. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed everything at check-out. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, remember to take video of the property to record its condition.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on great ratings to inspire more reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your review find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
