Tips to get the perfect vacation property experience:

When to reserve a Wilmington, NC rental home & When to go:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Wilmington, NC area. Reserve your vacation home in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable 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 vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides have offers and deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to choose the perfect rental in Bald Head Island:

• To start, have your family commit to a vacation week and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. How You Dune? Beautiful Retreat with Hot Tub has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the property manager before booking the vacation property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You'll need to work out what configuration is right for your vacation group.
• Visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• If your group is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Record any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic source for finding the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Re-check the property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at departure. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a fantastic stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
