How to book the best Wilmington, NC vacation rental experience:

When to visit Bald Head Island & When to reserve a rental home:

• Summer is high season in Bald Head Island. To get the best vacation home within budget, we recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite Wilmington, NC restaurants and activities.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines have deals for local shops and restaurants.

Selecting the perfect rental home:

• Begin by choosing potential vacation weeks and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Creek access, Club memberships, Great view has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is normally available online. If you don't see them listed, call the property manager before you book your home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

During your stay:

• To make sure no damages are linked to your visit, make a record of any problem areas during arrival. Speak to the host immediately to document your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.

• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great resource to find the best local attractions.

• Re-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at departure. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
