Tips and Tricks to get the best rental home experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• June, July, and August are high season in Ocean Isle Beach. Reserve your Wilmington, NC vacation in the Fall or Spring to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines have discounts for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select your vacation dates and max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Oceanfront home - Life is but a Dream has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is usually available on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the property management company before you book the rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You will need to establish what bed configuration is right for your vacation group.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before booking
• Some properties allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the host about your furry family members before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• To make sure that damages are not attributed to your family's visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas during arrival. text the rental manager immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, television set or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents quite a few problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
• On check-out day, take a walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and look for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a great vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
