How to book the best Oak Island vacation property experience:

When to go & When to book:

• Summer time is high season in Oak Island. To find the best value, try shifting your vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warmer weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• In the Wrightsville Beach area, The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are reserved very early. Booking your rental property up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 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 disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wrightsville Beach area visitors guides which often include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to pick the best vacation home:

• Choose vacation week and budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. 5BR\/3.5BA Home - Oceanfront, Event Home, Dog Friendly, Sleeps 13 has 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking pages. Otherwise, email the property owner before reserving your home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You will need to work out what configuration is suitable for your family.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or charges applied to your contract.

More considerations for your visit:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your phone.
• Make a record of any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if there is a dispute.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Double-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager is not available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on great feedback to compel new bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your experience find their best vacation rental. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
