Strategies to get the perfect vacation rental experience:

Find your best deal:

• Summertime is high season in Oak Island. To get the best rental for your budget, we suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities.
• The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Booking your rental property 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property management companies frequently offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC area magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines contain money saving offers on nearby tours and attractions.

Choosing and booking the perfectrental:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your trip dates, and choose a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Above the Tide on OKI - *10 Min Walk to the Beach* has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally available online. If they are not listed, reach out to the host before booking the property. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to establish what configuration is optimal for your vacation.
• If there's a specific Wilmington, NC attraction you crave, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly rental. Ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge additional pet fees.

Know before you go:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• Upon arrival, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers disrupting your peace and quiet. Practice the golden rule for common sense. 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 point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all of your things. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, remember to take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a excellent stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
