Rental home booking tips and tricks:

When to book a Wilmington, NC rental home & When to go:

• Summer time is high season in Bald Head Island. Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring months is our best tip for saving money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitor guides have discounts for nearby shops and restaurants.

Make a plan and choose the perfect Wilmington, NC rental:

• Start by having your group agree to the best dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family needs. Fire Hut, Bald Head Island Element/Studio On Marina has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available online. Otherwise, contact the property manager before you reserve the rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• If there's a specific Wilmington, NC destination you simply love, keep an eye out for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, property managers charge additional pet fees.

More tips for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the directions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• To make sure that damages aren't attributed to your stay, make note of any problem areas upon your arrival. E-mail the host immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Double-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a wonderful time? Most rental managers make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or host was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
