Our top Rental booking tips and tricks:

When to book a Wilmington, NC rental home & When to go:

• June, July, and August are high season in Oak Island. To get the best value, change your family's Wilmington, NC vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer great temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are reserved very early. Reserving your rental home up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides have coupons for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the host before you book the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine what bed configuration is right for your trip.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly property. Get information on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners charge additional pet fees.

Advice for your stay:

• Add the owner's information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To make certain that damages are not attributed to your stay, make note of any problem areas upon your arrival. message the rental manager right away to document your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors disrupting your peaceful home life. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent reviews to inspire future bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective.
