Strategies to get the very best Wilmington, NC vacation property experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a Oak Island rental home:

• Book your vacation home in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitors guide magazines which include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Begin by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Beautiful Oceanfront Home with Amazing Views-Sleeps 12 has 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is usually accessible online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property owner before you book the rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• Are you looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• Some rentals allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property manager about pet restrictions before booking.

Tips for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your smartphone.
• During check-in, make note of any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent a lot of issues.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let crooks ruin your holiday.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a wonderful time? Many rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
