Tips and Tricks to get the very best rental home experience:

Finding your perfect rental:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are high season in Oak Island. To book the most suitable rental for your budget, we recommend booking in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guide magazines which will include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Choosing the best vacation home in the Wilmington, NC area:

• Select your dates and budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. A Bit O'Heaven: Cheerful Home in Secluded Cul-de-sac with Ocean Views has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking websites. If not, email the property owner before reserving your rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish what configuration is right for your vacation.
• If your group is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental

Additional considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents quite a few problems.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Make a record of any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors disrupting your peaceful home. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• On check-out day, take a final walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on great feedback to inspire more reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
