Tricks and tips for getting the best Oak Island vacation rental experience:

Getting the most from your vacation rental budget:

Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• In the Wilmington, NC area, The earlier you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are booked early. Booking your vacation property up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Some property management companies offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers usually offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.

You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

• Start by having your group select vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Above the Tide on OKI - *10 Min Walk to the Beach* has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC rental home search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally accessible online. If not, contact the host before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to determine what bed configuration is optimal for your family.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental

More considerations for your visit:

• Add the owner's contact information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• During arrival, document any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, stereo or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents quite a few difficulties.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a great stay? Many rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
