How to book the best Oak Island rental home experience:

When to go & When to book:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in Oak Island. To get the best value, try shifting your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer excellent temperatures, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay 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 evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines have deals for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

• Select a group lead, select your vacation week, and select a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. The Happy Crab: East Beach Home with Private Backyard Pool and Hot Tub on Deck! has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly accessible online. Otherwise, email the property manager before you reserve the property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• Does your family require specific amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking

Tips for a great stay:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would at home.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your stay, record any problem areas upon your arrival. E-mail the rental manager right away to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors disrupting your home life. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Just prior to departing, take a walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, remember to take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on good feedback to inspire more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best vacation home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
