Tricks and tips to get the very best Wilmington, NC vacation home experience:

Getting the most from your budget:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To find the best value, change your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer great temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies frequently offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guides which often include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to select the best rental in Ocean Isle Beach:

• Start by selecting your trip dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Charming Canal-Front Home, Private Pool, Boat Dock, and Short Walk to the Beach! has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible online. If you don't see them listed, email the property owner before you book the vacation property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You'll need to work out what is right for your trip.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a certain Wilmington, NC beach you are enamored with, look for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.

Advice for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of concerns.
• Keep the property locked while you're out! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• At Check-in, note any issues with the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers bothering your quiet neighborhood. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• At departure, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a terrific time? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
