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

• Summer time is high season in the Carolina Beach area. To find the best value, shift your family's Carolina Beach vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer excellent weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic.

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.

Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
