Finding the best Oak Island vacation rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked early. Reserving your rental six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Reserve your Wilmington, NC vacation in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Owners sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides have coupons for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Planning, picking, and booking your Wilmington, NC rental:

• Select a group lead, select your vacation week, and select a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group needs. Saltwater Pool Available Starting April 1st, Wonderful Island Retreat, 6 Seat Golf Cart Included has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC rental home search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is commonly available online. Otherwise, reach out to the host before booking the rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must book a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Is your group looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .

Considerations for your stay:

• Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your visit, record any problem areas when you arrive. E-mail the host right away to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to make sure you did not forget any personal items. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a excellent vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
