Finding the best Oak Island vacation home experience:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To book the best vacation home for your budget, we recommend reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at Southport restaurants, tours, and activities.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guides have money saving offers on local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to pick the best vacation home:

• Choose your dates and spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. The Inkwell - A Cozy and Spacious Beach Cottage has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the property management company before reserving your rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine what is best for your vacation.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or charges might be applied to your invoice.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

Advice for your stay:

• Add the owner's phone number to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Protect your property!
• To make certain damages aren't attributed to your stay, record any problem areas upon check in. Call the rental manager right away to document your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers disrupting your peace and quiet. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Double-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed everything at departure. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a fantastic time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
