Tips for getting the best Oak Island rental experience:

Get the most from your rental home budget:

• In the Brunswick area area, The sooner your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Reserving your rental home up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Summer is the most expensive season in Oak Island. To get the most suitable vacation home within budget, we recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Brunswick area area magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guides contain deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Make a plan and pick the rightrental home:

• Start by selecting a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Renovated 4BR 2.5BA Duplex (lower unit), Walk to Beach, Sleeps 8 has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the host before booking your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Know before you go:

• Add the owner's contact information to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let burglars spoil your trip.
• During check-in, make note of any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a wonderful stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
