Strategies to get the perfect Wilmington, NC rental home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved early. Booking your rental property six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Summer months are high season in the Wilmington, NC area. To get the largest rental for your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite Wilmington, NC restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Some hosts and property managers offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guides which include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose the perfect rental in Oak Island:

• Choose dates and maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your family needs. Ocean views, Quiet West End, Dog Friendly-Sleeps 14 has 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is normally available on booking pages. Otherwise, contact the host before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You'll need to determine what is optimal for your vacation family.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask your host about pets before booking.
• Visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

More tips for your visit:

• Add the host's phone number to your phone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many issues.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would at home.
• To make sure that damages are not attributed to your visit, record any problem areas during arrival. Make contact with the property manager immediately to report your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your life at home. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Re-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a terrific time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
