Tricks and tips to get the best rental experience:

Sticking to a budget:

Summer is the most expensive season in Oak Island. To find the best rental home for your budget, we strongly suggest booking in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at Wilmington, NC restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
The sooner your group can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved early. Booking your rental property up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
Property management companies sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
Booking websites typically offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitors guide magazines contain offers and deals for local shops and restaurants.

Selecting the best rental in the Wilmington, NC area:

Choose vacation week and max budget.
Decide how many beds and the configuration your group needs. 3 BR Cozy home on the NE side of the Island has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the property management company before you book the property. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
Are you looking for unique amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental home.
Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
Some properties allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask your host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Have a wonderful stay:

Get the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
During arrival, record any damages to the property and immediately alert the owner. Record all coorespondence.
Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few problems.
Respect your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would back home.
On check-out day, take a final walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
Did you have a terrific vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
