Our top Wilmington, NC rental booking tips and tricks:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in Oak Island. Reserve your Wilmington, NC rental home in Spring or Fall to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property managers typically offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC area magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines have money saving offers on local accommodations and attractions.

How to pick the best rental home:

• Begin by selecting your the best vacation week and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Charming Coastal Cottage with 2 Oceanfront Bedrooms has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible on booking pages. If not, email the property manager before reserving the property. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must book a pet-friendly rental. Request specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Does your group require particular amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking

Have a great stay:

• Put the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• To make certain that damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, record any problem areas during check in. text the host right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your peace. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• At departure, take a walk-through to confirm you have not forget anything. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a fantastic time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
