How to find the best rental home experience:

Getting the best value:

• To book the best rental within your budget, we recommend booking in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guide magazines have discounts for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Finding the perfect vacation home in Oak Island:

• Select dates and spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Salty Dawg: Dog-Friendly Coastal Cottage with Views of Davis Canal has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually accessible on booking websites. If not, email the property owner before you book your home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out what bed configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• If there's a particular Wilmington, NC attraction you crave, search for properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or applied to your invoice.

During your stay:

• Add the property manager's contact info to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To make sure no damages are attributed to your family's stay, record any problem areas during check in. Call the rental manager immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a great source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all of your things. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from 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.
• Did you have a great vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
