Booking the best Oak Island vacation home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To book the largest vacation home within your budget, we highly recommend reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Owners sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies frequently offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides have offers and deals for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

How to choose the best vacation home in Oak Island:

• Select a group lead, select your vacation dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration you need. \"The Last Chance\" Oceanfront Cottage w\/ Panoramic Views & Vintage Vibes has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before you book your rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is best for your vacation.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some properties allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Have a great stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your smartphone.
• During arrival, document any issues with the property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a great resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Re-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent feedback to propel future bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will be thankful you shared your review find their best vacation rental. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
