Tips to get the best rental experience:

When to book a Wilmington, NC rental & When to go:

• Summer months are high season in Oak Island. To find the best rental within your budget, we recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked very early. Reserving your rental home up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Some hosts and property managers offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family.
• Property management companies often offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides have money saving offers on local accommodations and attractions.

How to pick the best vacation rental in the Wilmington, NC area:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your vacation week, and choose a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group requires. Amazing Ocean Views - Dog Friendly Classic Beach Front Home has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the property management company before booking the home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.
• If your family is traveling with pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Request details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your visit:

• Add the host's contact information to your phone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To make certain that damages aren't linked to your stay, inspect the property for any problem areas during check in. E-mail the property manager immediately to report any damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers disrupting your peaceful home life. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, remember to take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to drive new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will will be grateful for your review find their best rental home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
