Our top Rental home booking tips:

When to go & When to reserve a Oak Island rental home:

• The sooner your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Booking your rental home up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Reserving a rental home in the Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes.
• Some hosts offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies frequently offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines contain coupons for nearby shops and restaurants.

Filter your rental search:

• Start by choosing potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Oceanfront Gem with Stunning Views, Spacious Deck, Outdoor Shower, and Grill has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC vacation rental search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is commonly available on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the property owner before booking the property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must book a pet-friendly rental. Get details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, property owners charge additional pet fees.
• If there's an individual Wilmington, NC beach you crave, look for homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

Advice for a great stay:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many problems.
• Lock your rental home while you're out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• During arrival, record any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be respectful. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a terrific stay? Most rental managers make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
