Tips and Tricks to get the perfect rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Summer is the most expensive season in Ocean Isle Beach. To get the best value, shift your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer great temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. 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? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation home six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Hosts sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 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 ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitors guide magazines which include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• First, have your family commit to vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Oceanfront home - Life is but a Dream has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually accessible on booking pages. If not, call the property management company before reserving the property. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out what is right for your vacation family.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly rental. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Know before you go:

• Add the owner's contact info to your phone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Make a record of any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are beneficial if a dispute is filed.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent many problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all of your things. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a terrific vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
