Tricks and tips to get the best Oak Island rental experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Summer time is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. To get the best value, consider shifting your vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer excellent temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• In the Wilmington, NC area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are booked very early. Reserving your vacation property up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Some property managers offer rate reductions for veterans. Ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides contain money saving offers on local tours and attractions.

How to select the best rental:

• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking pages. If not, reach out to the property owner before you book the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• If there's an individual Wilmington, NC beach you are enamored with, keep an eye out for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property management company about pets before booking.

Have a wonderful stay:

• Add the host's information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your family's visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas when you arrive. E-mail the rental manager right away to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, television set or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents quite a few issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers disrupting your home life. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a fantastic time? Most rental websites make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order 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 feedback.
