How to find the best Oak Island rental experience:

How to get the best value:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Booking your Wilmington, NC vacation rental in Fall or Spring is an excellent way to save on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Often, rental management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guide magazines which often include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Choosing the perfect rental:

• Choose vacation week and max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. 5 Bedroom 6.5 Bath Duplex, Ocean View, Dog Friendly, Pool, Sleeps 16 has 5 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible online. If you don't see them listed, email the property management company before booking the home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You'll need to determine what configuration is best for your vacation.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, search for a pet-friendly rental. Get specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, property managers charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a certain Wilmington, NC destination you are enamored with, keep an eye out for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

• Get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Make a record of any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if a dispute is filed.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic source for finding the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, ensure that you take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to compel future reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will appreciate that you share your review find their best vacation rental. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
