Our top Oak Island rental property booking tips and tricks:

Sticking to your rental budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Wilmington, NC area. To get the best rental within your budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite Wilmington, NC restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation 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 on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines contain offers and deals for nearby tours and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Begin by selecting your a vacation week and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Cozy Beach House has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, contact the property owner before you book your rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to establish what is optimal for your vacation family.
• If there's a certain Wilmington, NC attraction you are enamored with, search for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or charges may be applied to your invoice.

Some things to know before you go:

• Store the owner's contact information in your smartphone.
• During check-in, make note of any damages to the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental home while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected everything. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on good reviews to drive new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
