Tips and Tricks to get the optimal Wilmington, NC vacation rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Summer months are high season in Bald Head Island. Booking your vacation rental in Fall or Spring months is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• In the Wilmington, NC area, The earlier you can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are reserved very early. Booking your vacation home up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Some property managers offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guide magazines have money saving offers on nearby tours and attractions.

• Choose your dates and maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Surf Shack - Stylish, Cozy & Well-Equipped For Families, Cozy Up & Relax At Surf Shack! 2 Carts & 2 has 3 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly accessible online. If you don't see them listed, email the property management company before reserving your home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's a particular Wilmington, NC destination you simply love, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a property that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

Tips for your stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your family's visit, inspect the property for any problem areas upon your arrival. Get in touch with the rental manager immediately to record any damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be respectful. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to make sure you've collected everything. Re-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 keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, remember to take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on good feedback to propel new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will will be grateful for your feedback find their best vacation rental. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
