Finding the best Wilmington, NC rental experience:

When to go & When to reserve a Oak Island rental home:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To find the best value, shift your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warm weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the 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 friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Some owners offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC area magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitors guides have deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Make a plan and pick your prefect Wilmington, NC rental home:

• Select your vacation week and maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family needs. 5BR/2.5BA Home - Only 1 block to the beach, RENOVATED, Sleeps 12 has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is commonly accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property manager before reserving the rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to work out which bed configuration is best for your group.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Wilmington, NC beach you are enamored with, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.

During your stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your .
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many difficulties.
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let thieves spoil your holiday.
• Make a record of any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if there is a dispute.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• On check-out day, complete a walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on great feedback to propel future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. 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.
