Tricks and tips to get the optimal Wilmington, NC vacation home experience:

Get the most from your vacation rental budget:

• Reserve your Wilmington, NC rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• The earlier you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved early. Reserving your rental home six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Some property managers offer discounts for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies supply Wilmington, NC area travel guides which will include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to select the best rental home in Bald Head Island:

• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Watch the golfers play, quiet forest area, spacious home, BHI has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the host before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is best for your vacation group.
• Is your group looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the perfect rental.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Are you bringing the family pet? 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 agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or charges may be applied to your contract.

More tips for your visit:

• Get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your visit, inspect for any problem areas upon check in. Make contact with the property manager immediately to relay your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent a lot of problems.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• Re-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, remember to take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a wonderful stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect 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 comments.
