Strategies for getting the perfect rental experience:

When to visit Ocean Isle Beach & When to book:

• Summer is the most expensive season in the Wilmington, NC area. Reserving a rental home in the Spring or Fall is a good way to save on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be 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 near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• In the Wilmington, NC area, The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are reserved very early. Booking your vacation property 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the 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, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Often, management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitors guides which often include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Finding the perfect vacation rental:

• First and foremost, have your group decide on trip dates and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Carolina Dreams - OIB has 6 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is regularly available online. Otherwise, email or call the property owner before reserving your rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what configuration is best for your vacation group.
• Are you looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly property. Get information on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

More considerations:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• To make sure that damages aren't linked to your family's visit, record any problem areas during check in. E-mail the rental manager immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be respectful. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected everything. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on great feedback to propel new bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will will be grateful for your feedback find their best vacation home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
