Strategies to get the best Wilmington, NC rental home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are high season in Oak Island. To get the best rental for your budget, we highly recommend reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants.
• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are booked early. Booking your rental home six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides have money saving offers on nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Planning, picking, and booking the perfect Wilmington, NC rental:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. 7BR\/6.5BA Home - Event Home, Ocean Views, Pool, Elevator, Sleeps 22 has 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the property manager before you book the vacation property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You will need to work out what configuration is best for your vacation group.
• Does your group require special amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• If your family is bringing pets, you must book a pet-friendly rental. Ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

More considerations:

• Get the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• During arrival, record any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors disrupting your home life. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a great time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
