How to get the best rental experience:

Get the most from your rental home budget:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Wilmington, NC area. Reserve your rental property in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your family qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Often, rental management companies supply Wilmington, NC area travel guides that include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Finding the best vacation home in Oak Island:

• To start, have your group select trip dates and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. 4BR\/2BA Home - Only a Short Walk to the BEACH, Sleeps12 has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is normally available on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the property manager before reserving the home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you will need a rental that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Wilmington, NC beach you love, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

More tips for your visit:

• Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would back home.
• During arrival, document any issues with the property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to confirm you haven't forget anything. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on good feedback to compel more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
