Tricks and tips to get the perfect Wilmington, NC vacation property experience:

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

• The earlier you can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation home six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To find the best value, try shifting your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer excellent weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guides contain discounts for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

How to pick the perfect rental home in Oak Island:

• Start by selecting vacation dates and a budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. BEACH HOUSE COTTAGE- 3 min to Beach - Remodeled, 2 screened in porches, big yard has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the property owner before you reserve the property. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You'll need to determine what is best for your trip.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a rental that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Wilmington, NC destination you are crazy about, browse properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Add the host's contact info to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents many difficulties.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are out, just like you would back home.
• To make sure that damages are not attributed to your stay, inspect for any problem areas when you arrive. message the rental manager immediately to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed everything at check-out. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a excellent stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective 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.
