Reviews:

June 2024 - 10/10 Dream Vacation Home!

We’ve had the enjoyment of staying at this property for our yearly family vacation over the last few years and it never disappoints! The home is furnished attractively and always spotless. Multiple rooms to choose from with sleeping arrangements for infants and young kids. It is a short golf cart drive to the Bald Head Island Club and when we want to switch it up and spend the days at the Shoals Club, we get to appreciate a handsome spectacular drive around the coastline. The hosts are always responsive and check in to make sure things are going well. Can’t wait to return again next summer!

How to book the best rental experience:

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

• June, July, and August are high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Book your vacation in Spring or Fall to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guides have offers and deals for nearby tours and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• To start, have your family agree to a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Stunning Home w\/Ocean & Golf Course Views - Affordable off season rates has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available online. If you don't see them listed, contact the property owner before you reserve the home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You will need to establish what configuration is best for your group.
• If there's a certain Wilmington, NC attraction you long to visit, browse properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a property that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• Add the host's information to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon check in. E-mail the property manager immediately to record any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your vacation home while you're away. Protect your property!
• Re-check the property to make sure that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on great ratings to stimulate more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
