Our top Wilmington, NC vacation rental home tips and tricks:

Sticking to your rental budget:

• The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation rental up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in Oak Island. To get the most suitable rental within budget, we recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular Wilmington, NC attractions. 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 family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Some hosts and property managers offer special rates for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides have deals for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Selecting and booking your prefectvacation home:

• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. 3BR\/2BA Duplex - Oceanfront, Gazebo, Close to Shops, Dining, FUN, Sleeps 8 has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally accessible online. Otherwise, reach out to the property manager before booking the home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You'll need to determine what bed configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• If your group is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Wilmington, NC beach you simply love, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.

• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, television set or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents a lot of difficulties.
• Lock your rental home while you're out and about. Protect your property!
• During arrival, make note of any issues with the property and immediately alert the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, remember to take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on great ratings to propel new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will will be grateful for your feedback find their best vacation home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
