Our top Rental property booking tips and tricks:

When to visit & When to book:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Booking your Wilmington, NC vacation home in the Spring or Fall is an excellent way to save money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes.
• In the Wilmington, NC area, The earlier you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early. Booking your rental 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your group qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area travel guide magazines which often include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself.

How to choose the perfect vacation rental in Bald Head Island:

• Choose a group leader, choose your vacation week, and choose a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Bald Head Island 3 bdrm home convenient to marina, beach, lighthouse and club! has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is generally available online. If they are not listed, email or call the property owner before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Does your family require unique amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental
• Some properties allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property manager about pet restrictions before booking.

More considerations:

• Add the host's phone number to your smartphone. 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 right away to relay any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many problems.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a excellent time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to address 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 comments.
