Oak Island
Oak Island is the ideal blend of convenient amenities and eateries, without being overrun with upsized T-shirt huts and overcrowded beaches. Selected as one of USA Today’s 51 Great American Beaches, Oak Island is one of the best kept secrets on the east coast! Only mins. from the historic town of Southport, Oak Island offers a blend of amenities and miles of open, unpopulated beach.

This family-aligned community offers a variety of activities for all interests, including:

• Several close by golf courses, or for the avid golfer, Myrtle Beach is a 45-min. drive.
• Caswell Beach is a loggerhead sea turtle sanctuary.
• Spend a day in Southport, a historic coastal community with modest town appeal that offers eateries, stores and deep-sea fishing.
• Take a ferry ride to either Fort Fisher Aquarium or to Bald Head Island.
• Wilmington (35 miles) has waterfront stores, the NC Aquarium and the North Carolina Battleship.

Tips to get the best vacation rental experience:

Finding the best value:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. To find the best value, shift your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• 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 special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Many management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guide magazines that include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to pick the best vacation home in Oak Island:

• Begin by selecting potential vacation weeks and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Sea la Vie: Oceanfront Peace & Relaxation (Fully Renovated 2021) has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is often accessible on booking pages. If not, contact the property owner before reserving the home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Some properties allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the owner about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More tips for your stay:

• Add the property manager's contact info to your phone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many concerns.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• During arrival, document any damages to the property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a excellent vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
