Wilmington, NC vacation rental booking tips:

Sticking to your spending budget:

• Summer time is high season in Oak Island. To get the best value, try shifting your family's Wilmington, NC vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitors guides that include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to pick the perfect rental home:

• Select a group lead, choose your dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Updated 4bd\/2ba, ocean views, LIFT, close beach access, Pet Friendly\n has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking pages. If not, call the host before reserving the rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You will need to work out what bed configuration is best for your vacation family.
• If there's a certain Wilmington, NC beach you are enamored with, browse homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the host about pet restrictions before booking.

Have a great stay:

• Add the host's contact information to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Upon check-in, note any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be respectful. Often, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Re-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a terrific time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or host was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
