Strategies to get the best Wilmington, NC vacation home experience:

When to book & When to go:

Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
Summer months are high season in Oak Island. To find the best value, try changing your family's Wilmington, NC vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warmer temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
Management companies and individual rental owners often offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
Often, management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guide magazines which include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Finding the perfect vacation home in Oak Island:

Select a designated group leader, choose your trip dates, and select a max budget.
Determine how many beds and the configuration your family requires. Backyard Oasis with Saltwater Pool & Steps to the Beach: TipSea Pelican has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is normally available on booking websites. If not, contact the property owner before you book the vacation home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms.
Some rentals allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
If there's a particular Wilmington, NC attraction you are enamored with, look for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

Know before you go:

Put the host's information in your smartphone.
Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent lots of difficulties.
Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would at home.
To make certain damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, inspect the property for any problem areas upon your arrival. Get in touch with the host right away to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
Be a good neighbor. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Inspect the property a final time and scan for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
Did you have a great stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
