Oak Island rental home tips:

Getting the best value:

• Booking your vacation rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our favorite way to save money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• In the Wilmington, NC area, The earlier you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Reserving your rental six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Some hosts offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.

You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

More tips for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the instructions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your visit, record any problem areas during check in. E-mail the rental manager right away to record any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.

• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Re-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
