Oak Island rental booking tips:

Cost saving strategies:

• Summertime is high season in Oak Island. To find the best value, consider shifting your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warm temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers usually offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local Wrightsville Beach area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines have deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Choosing and booking the rightrental home:

• Begin by selecting trip dates and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Southern Charm: Beach walk home in East Beach perfect for a family getaway has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wrightsville Beach rentals search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is regularly accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the host before booking the home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to establish what bed configuration is best for your vacation family.
• If there's a certain Wrightsville Beach destination you love, browse rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking
• Some properties allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

During your stay:

• Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• During check-in, note any damages to the property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental while you're away. Protect your property!
• Double-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Many rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
