Oak Island rental home booking tips:

When to visit & When to book:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Book your Wilmington, NC rental property in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. 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.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many rental management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guides that include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose and book the best Wilmington, NC rental home:

• Choose your dates and budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration you need. 4BR\/3.5BA House, 2nd Row with Water Views, Dog Friendly, Sleeps 11 has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the host before booking the vacation home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to establish what bed configuration is right for your trip.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly property. Request details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Tips for your stay:

• Add the owner's contact information to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many issues.
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Upon check-in, record any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Most rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
