Tips and Tricks to get the perfect vacation property experience:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

• In the Wilmington, NC area, The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Reserving your vacation rental six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Oak Island. Book your rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy warm 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 property manager whether your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Many management companies supply Wilmington, NC area travel guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Finding the perfect rental home:

• First, have your family choose a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. The Dwight House \/ 1006 W Dolphin Drive - Coastal Vacation Resorts has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally accessible online. If you don't see them listed, email the property manager before you book the rental. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you will need a rental that allows animals. Request information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Know before you go:

• Add the property manager's information to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent quite a few issues.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would back home.
• At Check-in, record any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. 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.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on great reviews to drive future reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review 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 expeditiously to remedy it.
