Strategies to get the best vacation home experience:

When to reserve a Wilmington, NC rental & When to go:

• Summer time is high season in Oak Island. Booking your Wilmington, NC vacation rental in Fall or Spring months is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property managers frequently offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines have deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by choosing your trip dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration you need. 4BR\/3BA Home - 2nd Row, Ocean Views, Steps to Beach, Pool w\/ Heating, Sleeps 10 has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the property manager before you book the property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some do not. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask your host about pet restrictions before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

• Get the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your stay, make note of any problem areas during check in. message the rental manager immediately to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Protect your property!
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at departure. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a fantastic time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
