Tricks and tips to get the best vacation property experience:

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

• To get the best value, consider shifting your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warmer temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic.
• In the Wrightsville Beach area, The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are reserved very early. Reserving your rental up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Often, management companies supply Wrightsville Beach area visitor guides that include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to select the perfect vacation rental in Oak Island:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Dog Friendly w\/ Spectacular Ocean Views has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible on booking pages. If not, contact the property owner before booking the property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what configuration is right for your family.
• If there's a specific Wrightsville Beach destination you love, look for homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some don't. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the host about your furry family members before booking.

Know before you go:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your . Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Document any damages to the property at check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if a dispute is filed.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent many problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors bothering your peace and quiet. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed everything at check-out. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, remember to take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a fantastic time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
