Tricks and tips for getting the best Wilmington, NC vacation property experience:

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

• Summer is high season in Oak Island. To book the best rental home within your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Often, management companies supply Wilmington, NC area travel guides which often include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Select your dates and budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. A Sand Dollar Dream has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is often accessible online. Otherwise, reach out to the host before you book the vacation home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to establish what configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• If there's a particular Wilmington, NC attraction you are enamored with, look for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before booking
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, hosts charge additional pet fees.

Tips to have a great stay:

• Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• During check-in, note any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent lots of difficulties.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a fantastic source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• Just before checking out, take a walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a great time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
