How to find the best Bald Head Island rental home experience:

Getting the most from your budget:

• June, July, and August are high season in Bald Head Island. Reserve your rental in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• The earlier you can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are reserved early. Booking your rental six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Some owners offer promotional rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC area magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guides contain money saving offers on local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

How to pick the best rental:

• Choose a group leader, select your trip dates, and choose a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Classic Coastal Carolina Beach House 4 BR 3 Baths Walk to Beach Pet Friendly has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the property management company before booking the property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out which bed configuration is right for your vacation family.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• Some properties allow pets, but some don't. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the owner about your furry family members before booking.

More tips for your visit:

• Put the owner's contact information in your smartphone.
• Note any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if damages are assessed.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents lots of concerns.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a great source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Just prior to departing, take a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a great vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct 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 comments.
