Tricks and tips to get the optimal Wilmington, NC rental home experience:

When to visit Oak Island & When to book:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in Oak Island. To find the best vacation home within your budget, we recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular attractions.
• Hosts sometimes offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Booking websites often offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay 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 hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides contain discounts for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Finding the best vacation home in Oak Island:

• Select a group lead, select your dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group requires. 3BR\/3BA House, Walk to Beach, Ocean and Marsh Views, Event Home, Sleeps 8 has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the property manager before reserving your rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a rental that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

More considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your smartphone.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Note any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be valuable if there is a dispute.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be an incredible source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed everything at departure. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a terrific vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your property and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
