Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect Wilmington, NC rental home experience:

When to visit Oak Island & When to reserve a Wilmington, NC rental home:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in Oak Island. Book your vacation in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your group qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites often offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitors guide magazines that include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning and picking the right Wilmington, NC rental:

• Start by choosing vacation dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Pokie Puffer-Salty Carolina Vibes has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the host before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a certain Wilmington, NC attraction you simply love, look for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Additional considerations:

• Get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let thieves ruin your family vacation.
• To make certain that damages aren't attributed to your stay, record any problem areas upon check in. Contact the rental manager right away to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Re-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at departure. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on good reviews to compel more bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
