Our top Vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

Get the most from your rental home budget:

• June, July, and August are high season in Oak Island. Booking your Wilmington, NC vacation home in Fall or Spring months is our favorite way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. 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 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 loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC area magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines have coupons for nearby shops and restaurants.

Make a plan and pick the right Wilmington, NC rental home:

• Choose your vacation week and max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration you need. Oak Island Beach House -- Sand, Sun, and Fun Just Steps Away!! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available online. If you don't see them listed, call the property manager before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to establish what is right for your trip.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or costs might be applied to your invoice.

Tips for your stay:

• Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas during check in. Contact the property manager right away to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be respectful. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on good reviews to inspire more reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share 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 fix it.
