Tips and Tricks to get the best Wilmington, NC vacation home experience:

Finding the best rental value:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in Oak Island. To get the best value, consider shifting your family's Wilmington, NC vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guides which often include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to choose and book the right Wilmington, NC rental:

• First, have your group commit to trip dates and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. A Sand Dollar Dream has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking pages. Otherwise, email the property management company before you reserve your home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or charges applied to your invoice.
• Does your family require specific amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

Considerations for your stay:

• Put the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents lots of issues.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• At Check-in, record any issues with the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers disrupting your peace and quiet. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Re-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed everything at check-out. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
