Tricks and tips for getting the perfect Oak Island rental experience:

Sticking to your spending plan:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Wilmington, NC area. Reserve your vacation in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Some property managers offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies often offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC area magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have deals for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Choosing the perfect rental:

• First and foremost, have your family commit to vacation dates and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Salty Dawg: Dog-Friendly Coastal Cottage with Views of Davis Canal has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is normally available online. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before reserving your home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask your host about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• If there's a particular Wilmington, NC destination you simply love, search for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental

Advice for your stay:

• Get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental while you're out and about. Keep your property safe!
• During arrival, note any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your life at home. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected everything. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a excellent vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
