Tricks and tips to get the very best Wilmington, NC rental home experience:

Sticking to a budget:

• Summer is the most expensive season in Oak Island. Book your Wilmington, NC vacation in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• The earlier your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved very early. Booking your rental home up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Some hosts offer rate reductions for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides have discounts for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• First, have your family commit to the best dates and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. The Sandcastle: Upscale Large Oceanfront Home with Private Pool and Elevator has 11 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually accessible on booking websites. If not, email the property manager before reserving the vacation property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If there's an individual Wilmington, NC destination you crave, browse rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or charges applied to your agreement.

More tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your . Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.

• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.

• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let burglars spoil your trip.
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to confirm you have not forget anything. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a excellent vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
