Our top Bald Head Island rental home tips and tricks:

Getting the most from your spending budget:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Wilmington, NC area. Reserve your Wilmington, NC vacation home in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• The sooner you can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your vacation rental up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Some hosts offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines contain coupons for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Narrow your rental Search:

• First and foremost, have your family decide on date ranges and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Sandy Bottoms - Beautiful Ibis Roost home! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC vacation rental search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible on booking pages. If not, call the property manager before reserving your rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• Add the host's contact information to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Make a record of any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be valuable if damages are assessed.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Re-check the property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at departure. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent reviews to drive more bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
