Vacation rental home tips:

Getting the best rental home value:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To book the largest vacation home for your budget, we suggest booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite Wilmington, NC restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. 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? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property managers often offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides have money saving offers on nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

How to pick the perfect rental in Oak Island:

• Choose your dates and max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration you need. Blue Marlin \/ 1426 E Beach Drive - Coastal Vacation Resorts has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, contact the host before you reserve the property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what configuration is right for your vacation family.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific Wilmington, NC beach you simply love, browse homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .

Tips for a great stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let thieves spoil your vacation.
• During arrival, note any issues with the property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be respectful. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Just before checking out, take a walk-through to make sure you have not forget anything. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a excellent stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address 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.
