When to visit & When to reserve a Oak Island rental home:

Book your rental property in the Fall or Spring to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
In the Wilmington, NC area, The sooner your group can book, the easier your search will be. The best properties are booked very early. Booking your rental home up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
Some property management companies offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
Property management companies usually offer renters an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.

We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone.
At Check-in, make note of any damages to the property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent a lot of issues.

Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would at home.
Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Inspect the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on good feedback to compel new reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will be thankful you shared your experience find their best vacation home. Please be objective.
