Tricks and tips to get the best Wilmington, NC vacation property experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• Summer time is high season in Oak Island. Booking your Wilmington, NC vacation home in the Spring or Fall is a great way to save on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies frequently offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC area magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines have money saving offers on local accommodations and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Choose dates and spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. 3BR\/2BA - OCEANFRONT, DOG FRIENDLY, BEACH STEPS AWAY, Sleeps 8 has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is normally available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the property management company before you book the rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the owner about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Tips for your stay:

• Add the host's information to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas upon check in. Contact the property manager immediately to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers disrupting your peace. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let crooks ruin your trip.
• When it's time to leave, complete a final walk-through to confirm you have not forget any personal items. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a terrific stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
