Our top Rental booking tips and tricks:

When to reserve a Wilmington, NC rental & When to go:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Oak Island. To find the best value, consider changing your trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer great temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic.
• Some hosts and property managers offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines contain deals for local shops and restaurants.

Planning, picking, and booking the bestrental:

• Begin by choosing your the best vacation week and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Blue Cottage: Newly Renovated, Walk to Beach, Pet Friendly, Private Fence has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property manager before you book the vacation property. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly rental. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a certain Wilmington, NC attraction you are enamored with, keep an eye out for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• We recommend storing the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent quite a few issues.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would back home.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your family's visit, make a record of any problem areas during check in. Contact the rental manager immediately to report any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all of your things. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent ratings to stimulate new reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
