Strategies to get the best Oak Island vacation rental experience:

Sticking to your rental budget:

• In the Wilmington, NC area, The earlier your group can book, the easier your search will be. The best properties are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation home 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To find the best value, try changing your group's 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 book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Some property managers offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC area magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines contain coupons for local accommodations and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• First, have your family commit to date ranges and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group requires. 5BR\/2 Full & 2 Half Bath Home - Oceanfront, STEPS FROM BEACH, Sleeps 16 has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking pages. If not, reach out to the host before you book the vacation home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
