Finding the best Oak Island rental home experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Wrightsville Beach area. Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring months is an excellent way to save money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes.
• In the Wrightsville Beach area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early. Reserving your vacation home up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites typically offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Wrightsville Beach visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitor guides contain offers and deals for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• First, have your group select date ranges and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Kraken Kove: Gorgeous Getaway Between Beach and Intracoastal Waterway has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available online. If not, email the property manager before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You'll need to establish what is suitable for your vacation.
• Is your group looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental
• If your family is vacationing with pets, search for a property that allows animals. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, property managers charge additional pet fees.

Tips for your stay:

• Get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. Store the host's information in your smartphone.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon your arrival. E-mail the rental manager immediately to record your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental home while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed everything at check-out. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a great time? Most rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
