How to book the best rental home experience:

Sticking to your spending plan:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Book your rental property in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC area magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides contain coupons for local shops and restaurants.

Selecting the perfect rental in the Wilmington, NC area:

• Choose vacation dates and spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Oak Island Cottage - Walk to Beach & Intracoastal! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible online. If you don't see them listed, contact the property owner before reserving the rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You'll need to work out what is best for your family.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must book a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Wilmington, NC attraction you love, look for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• Add the host's information to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many concerns.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• During arrival, note any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• At departure, take a walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, remember to take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a terrific time? Many rental managers make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
