Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Bald Head Island rental home experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Wilmington, NC area. Booking your vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our favorite way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes.
• The sooner you can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation home up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies often offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guides have deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Charming Studio \/ Cottage in Marina BHI & Shoals Club Available has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is commonly available on booking pages. If not, email or call the property owner before you book the rental.

• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must book a property that allows animals. Get details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

Tips for your stay:

• Add the owner's phone number to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, note any problem areas upon your arrival. Make contact with the rental manager right away to relay any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers bothering your quiet neighborhood. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental home while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on good ratings to compel new reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective.
