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

Getting the best rental value:

• Summer is the most expensive season in the Wilmington, NC area. To find the best value, shift your group's trip 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 reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best properties are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation rental up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Some property management companies 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 group.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitors guide magazines which often include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose the best vacation rental in Oak Island:

• Select a group lead, select your trip dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. 6BR/4BA - Oceanfront, 2 Living Areas, 2 Kitchens, Gazebo, Sleeps 16 has 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible online. Otherwise, email the host before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine what bed configuration is best for your vacation group.
• Does your group require unique amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must book a rental that allows animals. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, property managers charge additional pet fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your stay, note any problem areas during check in. Make contact with the rental manager immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents lots of difficulties.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a great source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let burglars spoil your vacation.
• On check-out day, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on great ratings to propel future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
