Booking the best Bald Head Island vacation rental experience:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Reserve your Wilmington, NC vacation in Fall or Spring to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC area magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines contain offers and deals for nearby tours and attractions.

Filter your rental search:

• Choose your vacation week and budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Great views of the Atlantic Ocean, high on dune, close to beach access, BHI has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is almost always available on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property manager before you book the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to work out what bed configuration is best for your group.
• Some properties allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the host about pets before booking.
• If there's a specific Wilmington, NC beach you love, look for homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

Advice for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, elevator or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent a lot of problems.
• Lock your rental while you're out. Keep your property safe!
• To make certain that no damages are linked to your stay, note any problem areas upon your arrival. text the rental manager right away to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at departure. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a great vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
