Tricks and tips to get the optimal vacation home experience:

Getting the most from your spending budget:

• In the Wilmington, NC area, The sooner your group can book, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Reserving your vacation home up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Summer time is high season in Oak Island. Booking your vacation home in the Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Some property managers offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Many rental management companies supply Wilmington, NC area travel guides that include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Filter your search:

• Choose a group leader, choose your trip dates, and select a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. 3BR\/2BA Home - Close to Beach, Golf, Shops, Dining, Fun, Sleeps 8 has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before booking your home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You will need to establish what is right for your vacation group.
• If your family is traveling with pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property managers charge additional pet fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Have a fantastic stay:

• We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let thieves spoil your holiday.
• Make a record of any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are helpful if a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your life at home. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and places you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at departure. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a wonderful vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
