Strategies for getting the perfect Wilmington, NC rental experience:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• Summer is high season in Oak Island. To get the best value, shift your family's Wilmington, NC vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warm temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• The earlier you can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are booked very early. Reserving your rental up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitors guides contain money saving offers on local accommodations and attractions.

Choosing the perfect rental:

• Select a group lead, select your dates, and select a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your family needs. Waterway Haven: Family Friendly House Overlooking Intracoastal Waterway has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is regularly available online. If you don't see them listed, call the property management company before booking your rental. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what configuration is optimal for your trip.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly rental. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Some hosts charge additional pet fees.

Tips for your stay:

• Add the owner's information to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To make certain no damages are linked to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon your arrival. E-mail the rental manager right away to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Re-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on great reviews to propel more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
