Tricks and tips to get the optimal rental experience:

When to reserve a Wilmington, NC rental home & When to go:

• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Booking your vacation rental six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Summer time is high season in Ocean Isle Beach. To find the most suitable rental home for your budget, we strongly suggest booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular attractions.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your family qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides have offers and deals for local shops and restaurants.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Choose your dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. OIB Lovin’ Life - Steps From The Beach has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property manager before you book the vacation home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to establish what is best for your group.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a rental that allows animals. Request details on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking

More considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent lots of problems.
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let burglars ruin your holiday.
• Make a record of any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if there is a dispute.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a excellent vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. 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.
