Our top Bald Head Island vacation rental tips:

Find your perfect rental:

• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Booking in Fall or Spring is our favorite way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers typically offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Many management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitors guides which often include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Selecting and booking the bestvacation home:

• Start by selecting your potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. \"The Palms\" is nestled on a secluded half acre in the forest. ThePalmsHouse.com has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property management company before booking the property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine what is best for your vacation family.
• If there's a specific Wilmington, NC beach you simply love, look for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• Some properties allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Add the owner's phone number to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To make certain damages aren't linked to your family's stay, make a record of any problem areas when you arrive. Make contact with the rental manager immediately to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected everything. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a terrific time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
