Also, less than a mile to the East is Oak Island Golf Club and their new Duffer's Pub and Grille. Savor palm trees and ocean vistas right from your porch. There is also a shared outdoor shower for rinsing off after the beach. Oak Island Lighthouse is about a three mile walk along the beach to the East.

How to get the best Oak Island rental home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• To find the best value, try shifting your family's Wilmington, NC vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer great temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides contain discounts for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Select vacation dates and spending budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. ~Carolina Tides~ Ocean View, Pier, Pool, Steps to the Beach and Restaurants! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is regularly accessible online. If you don't see them listed, email the property owner before you book the home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or costs may be applied to your invoice.

Additional considerations:

• We recommend storing the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Document any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, elevator or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many concerns.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are out! Don't let burglars spoil your vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a fantastic stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
