Tricks and tips for getting the perfect vacation property experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Summer is the most expensive season in Oak Island. Booking a rental in the Fall or Spring is our favorite way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes.
• The earlier your group can book, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Reserving your rental property six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline 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 area magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines have discounts for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Selecting the best vacation rental in the Wilmington, NC area:

• Select a group leader, choose your vacation dates, and choose a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your family requires. Paws Awhile: Slow down, pause awhile at Paws Awhile! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available on booking pages. If not, email or call the host before you book your home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You will need to work out which bed configuration is suitable for your trip.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly property. Ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

More considerations:

• We recommend storing the owner's contact information in your smartphone.
• To make certain damages are not attributed to your family's visit, make a record of any problem areas during arrival. message the rental manager immediately to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers disrupting your peaceful home life. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals 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 BBQ?
• Lock your rental while you are away. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected everything. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out 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 family have a great vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
