Tricks and tips for getting the best Oak Island rental experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• Summer is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Booking your Wilmington, NC vacation home in Fall or Spring months is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean?

• Hosts sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.

Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.

In addition to great local stories, visitors guide magazines contain deals for nearby shops and restaurants.
