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

Sticking to a rental home budget:

• June, July, and August are high season in Oak Island. To book the most suitable rental within budget, we suggest booking in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer special rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides contain discounts for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Selecting the perfect rental home in Oak Island:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your trip dates, and select a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. ~Carolina Tides~ Beach View, Fishing Pier, Steps to the Beach and Restaurants! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC rentals search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is usually available online. If you don't see them listed, email the property owner before you book your home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the host about your furry family members before booking.

Know before you go:

• Get the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your . We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Upon arrival, record any damages to the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Just prior to departing, complete a walk-through to make sure you have not forget any personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from 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.
• Did your family have a fantastic vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
