When to visit Oak Island & When to reserve a rental home:

• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved early. Booking your rental up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.

• Some property management companies offer special rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses.
